LOS ANGELES — Tomas Nido received a second straight start behind the plate for Jacob deGrom on Monday, but that doesn’t mean the Mets ace necessarily has a personal catcher.
That is manager Mickey Callaway’s story, at least, and he is sticking to it.
“It was more because Wilson [Ramos] had played four games in a row,” Callaway said before the Mets lost the opener of a four-game series at Dodger Stadium.
In five starts with Ramos behind the plate, deGrom has pitched to a 5.33 ERA this season. With Nido as the starting catcher for four starts, deGrom had pitched to a 0.
