As the Mets continued wasting opportunities in their disheartening season, the attention turned to Jacob deGrom and whether the righthander could still accomplish the unimaginable this year.
The Mets ace bounced back from his worst outing of the season with a 14-strikeout night in the Mets' 2-1 loss to the Rays on Monday at Citi Field. DeGrom recorded 14 Ks for the third time in his career.
“I think everyone is disappointed with some of the games we let get away,” deGrom said. “We wish we were in a better spot. Now we have to watch other teams' scores and hope we can get into this thing.
