DENVER -- Jacob deGrom didn't have his best stuff Sunday afternoon, and to hear him tell it, he hasn't been at his best all season. But for 6 1/3 innings, he had enough to continue his dominance over the Rockies, showing his capacity to be a double threat -- on the mound and at the plate.
The Mets will take deGrom at less than his best as long as he keeps on his current pace, going 3-1 with a 2.50 ERA through six starts. He gave up three runs on four hits and three walks Sunday, leaving the game with a 3-2 lead and watching the Rockies steal it, 4-3, with a pinch-hit homer immediately after he left.
