In his 2022 season debut Tuesday night vs. the Nationals, Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom pitched five innings in a stellar return to the mound. His last MLB start was on July 7, 2021.
The ace gave up three hits and one run while tallying six strikeouts. Luis García doubled off of deGrom in the fourth inning to bring home Victor Robles, the only run scored during his time on the mound.
Before the regular season began, deGrom endured a stress reaction on his right scapula that landed him on the injured list.
