A historic season is turning into a frustrating one for Jacob deGrom.
The Mets ace was pulled from a second straight start with an arm injury, this time leaving after three perfect innings with right shoulder soreness, but the bullpen stepped up to finish a three-hitter in a 6-3 win over the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night.
One start after being pulled from a gem against San Diego with flexor tendinitis in his right arm, deGrom went directly down the clubhouse tunnel after finishing the third against the Cubs.
“Felt good warming up, felt really good in the first and second inning, then there in the third my shoulder was sore,” deGrom said.
