NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Jacob deGrom delivered the most telling blow for the New York Mets.
No, not his one-hop double to the wall. Rather, his punch to the Gatorade cooler.
DeGrom turned slugger at the plate and later in the dugout, frustrated as the feeble Mets fell to the Chicago Cubs 6-1 for a three-game sweep.
“I didn’t have the game I wanted. I had a tough time commanding my pitches and I was wild and I just struggled out there today,” deGrom said.
Jonathan Herrera and Miguel Montero homered as the Cubs beat the Mets for a team-record ninth time in a row, and finished 7-0 against them this season.
