The Mets defeated the Braves 3-0 at Citi Field this evening. Jacob deGrom put the finishing touches on his (now more than likely) Cy Young season, going eight innings, giving up two hits, no walks, and striking out ten. He ended his night ratcheting up his 1,000th career strikeout.
Offensively, the Mets scratched out three late runs off the bats of Dominic Smith and Michael Conforto. In the sixth inning, Conforto struck a double to right field, and came around to score on a Smith single. Two innings later, both added solo home runs to give deGrom a 3-run lead.
