Game Recap:
While the Mets offense woke up, the story of the game was deGrom, who was unhittable after the first inning. Featuring a fastball that reached 97 MPH and mixing in his secondary pitches liberally, deGrom kept the Cardinals off balance all game. In his eight shutout innings, deGrom allowed one hit, walked none, and struck out 11.
