undated — The Mets’ first run since Sunday night — when they beat the Reds, powered by four R.B.I. from a rookie pitcher — was scored Thursday by Jacob deGrom, a starting pitcher.
Two games and 22 innings after the Mets last scored, deGrom, who had cranked a double two batters earlier, crossed home and marched into the dugout, where he was met with smiles and high-fives. Curtis Granderson stood at second base, the result of his own double to right field.
Fans cheered, probably louder than they normally do for a run in the third inning of an afternoon game.
