The New York Mets came back from the dead and turned a 4-0 deficit into a 5-4 victory against the Philadelphia Phillies last night. Had the Mets lost, their chances of advancing to the postseason would have been severely damaged. But they won, and while they aren’t in particularly good shape, they are still alive.
Jacob deGrom, the New York Mets’ ace and Cy Young Award candidate, had to leave yesterday’s start after just two innings while dealing with a right hamstring spasm. The issue sounds minor, but it is not 100% confirmed that he will be able to make his next scheduled start.
