Jacob deGrom again gets no support as Mets eke out win vs. Braves

ATLANTA -- Jacob deGrom gets no support. No exaggeration.

DeGrom tossed eight scoreless innings on Saturday, yet came away with a no-decision and remained winless since April 30.

The New York Mets nonetheless salvaged a 1-0 win against the Atlanta Braves when Kelly Johnson -- a three-time former Brave -- delivered a pinch-hit homer against ex-Met Dario Alvarez to open the 11th inning.

The Mets moved within two games of the first-place Washington Nationals, who have lost seven straight games.

Earlier this month, Johnson was acquired by the Mets from the Braves for the second straight season.
