Jacob deGrom’s ninth win eluded him as the Mets fell to Madison Bumgarner and the Giants 3-1 to split a four-game set.
The Mets ace pitched well but surrendered a pair of frustrating runs. Steven Duggar crossed home in the top of the third on a passed ball that Devin Mesoraco argued had been foul-tipped. An inning later, deGrom appeared to send the game to the bottom of the fourth with a strikeout of Nick Hundley, but a dubious ball call from home plate ump Tony Randazzo extended the at-bat.
