MIAMI — Jacob deGrom made his best start of the season on Saturday night against the Miami Marlins. And then Fernando Salas came in for him and spoiled it.
DeGrom struck out 13, tying a career high, in seven innings, and the Mets had a two-run lead when Manager Terry Collins pulled him after 97 pitches.
Salas, who had not been scored upon in his previous seven outings this season, came on and got two outs before surrendering a game-tying, two-run homer to Christian Yelich and a go-ahead home run to Giancarlo Stanton as the Mets lost, 5-4.
