After yet another performance that garnered nothing but praise, Jacob deGrom stood at his locker and couldn’t help but mention an imperfection.
His mechanics, deGrom said, felt off during the middle innings. When that happens, he said, he yanks his fastball and floats his changeup.
“That’s where I kinda struggled a little bit,” deGrom said. “But other than that, everything felt pretty good.”
During the fourth, fifth and sixth innings against the Rays on Friday night, deGrom gave up a run on two hits. Nobody’s perfect.
That run was the only one he gave up.
