LOS ANGELES - The Mets certainly appear loose after taking Game 1 of the NL division series against the Dodgers.
After striking out 13 in seven shutout innings to best Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, Mets Game 1 starter Jacob deGrom pranked teammate Daniel Murphy during their joint post-game press conference after Friday night’s 3-1 victory.
While Murphy was answering a question about David Wright, who also was seated at the dais, deGrom walked up, took his seat and almost instantly pulled the lever of the second baseman’s chair to make him sink several inches.
“Yowzers,” Murphy said as deGrom suppressed a smirk.
