Any way you slice it, the New York Mets should’ve beaten the Miami Marlins on Wednesday night. They had their ace on the mound in Jacob deGrom, who was dominant once again, allowing just four hits and two walks on eight strikeouts in seven scoreless innings.
He left with a 1-0 lead thanks to a Brandon Nimmo home run, but the Mets couldn’t muster any other offense before Jeurys Familia coughed up the lead in the ninth inning. We’ve already talked about what exactly has been driving deGrom’s superb performance to date, but there’s a certain trend that he’s kept up since debuting for New York in 2014, via Steve Gelbs of SNY.
