Jacob deGrom started for the Mets Friday …
OK, you’ve heard this. The Mets offense was comatose. Again. Unless you consider two hits, one of them for an RBI by deGrom, lively.
DeGrom was typically good, but Atlanta’s Anibal Sanchez was a bit better. The key was deGrom pitched against the Braves, while Sanchez got to face the Mets. So even though he authored his 19th straight start surrendering three or fewer runs, deGrom came up empty in the win column as Atlanta pulled out a 2-1 victory at Citi Field.
