ATLANTA -- Jacob deGrom displayed no signs of rust and the Mets tarnished Aaron Blair's Major League debut with Sunday afternoon's 3-2 win over the Braves to complete a three-game series sweep at Turner Field.
deGrom gained a one-run lead before throwing his first pitch and then quickly settled in as he limited the Braves to one run and eight hits over 5 2/3 innings. This was just the second start of the season for the right-hander, who spent most of the past two weeks tending to a strained lat muscle and complications that followed his son's birth.
