Jacob deGrom left the mound without a win again. For once, he left the ballpark without frustration.
Though deGrom received another no-decision after an eight-inning, one-run gem, the Mets opened their 11-game homestand by earning a rare victory on a night when their ace pitched, defeating the Rays 5-1 Friday night at Citi Field on Jose Bautista’s walk-off grand slam.
After Jeurys Familia escaped a self-inflicted, bases-loaded jam in the ninth, Todd Frazierwalked to lead off the bottom of the inning, putting the winning run on base.
