Jacob deGrom stars on mound, at plate as torrid start for New York Mets continues

Season by season, game after game, New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom has been compiling a resume that has many calling him baseball's best pitcher.

On Friday night, deGrom made the 187th start of his big league career. And it may have been his most dominant outing yet.

DeGrom struck out 15 batters without a walk en route to a two-hit whitewashing of the Washington Nationals in New York, as the Mets cruised, 6-0. DeGrom (2-1) threw 109 pitches while recording the second shutout and fourth complete game of his career.
