deGrom K’s thirteen, Conforto has a big night at the plate in Mets victory

Jacob deGrom put any lingering worries about his health to rest last night, as he tied a career best with thirteen strikeouts over seven innings, allowing just one run on six hits. He was dealing right out of the gate tonight, striking out two in the first inning and retiring the Diamondbacks in order, needing just thirteen pitches to do so—a vast improvement over his first frame in his last outing.

The Mets offense hit the ground running as well. Brandon Nimmo, as is his way, led off the game with a walk.
