Jacob deGrom's gem lowers ERA to 0.71, lowest through May since 1964

Jacob deGrom continues to make history with his otherworldly start to his 2021 season.

In his second start since returning from the injured list, deGrom tossed six scoreless innings in the Mets' 6-2 victory over the Diamondbacks, lowering his ERA to 0.71, the lowest for a qualified starter through the end of May since Chris Short had a 0.64 ERA for the Phillies in 1964.

The Mets' ace improved to 4-2 with just four earned runs in 51 innings. In his eight starts, he's allowed no runs three times, one run four times and three unearned runs in a game at Coors Field in April.
