Marlins’ Chisholm Homers Off Mets’ DeGrom, Says Heater On ‘Lighter Side’

NEW YORK (AP) — Jazz Chisholm Jr. watched Jacob deGrom’s first 100 mph fastball whiz by and wasn’t impressed.

“Some people’s 100 is a little lighter,” he added. “To me, it felt like he was on the lighter side.”

Safe to say, Miami’s youngsters don’t scare easily.

Chisholm hit a stunning homer off an otherwise dominant deGrom, Trevor Rogers beat the two-time Cy Young Award winner for the second time and the Marlins blanked the New York Mets 3-0 Saturday.
