NEW YORK -- A walk-off pinch-hit three-run home run by lovable Brandon Nimmo in the bottom of the 10th gave Mets ace Jacob deGrom something to smile about after another spectacular outing in Wednesday night's 3-0 win over the Phillies at Citi Field.
deGrom spun eight brilliant innings, lowering his ERA to 1.68 to tie all-time Mets great Dwight Gooden for the best first-half ERA in franchise history. Gooden set the record in 1985, the year he won the National League Cy Young Award.
There will be dingers in the District when the 2018 T-Mobile Home Run Derby gets underway at Nationals Park, and, after Wednesday night's announcement on ESPN, we now know the players who will be crushing in the capital.
