DeGrom’s streak ends, but Mets rally past Phils
Mets ace Jacob deGrom gave up two runs for the first time this season and the Mets rallied after he exited, beating the Phillies 4-3 on Saturday in New York on Michael Conforto’s sacrifice fly in the ninth inning.
DeGrom’s bid to set the Mets’ record for the longest scoreless-inning streak fell just short. His run ended at 31 innings on rookie Nick Maton’s RBI single in the second — R.A. Dickey set the team shutout mark of 32‰ innings in 2012.
DeGrom (7-2) allowed three hits in six innings, striking out five and walking one while throwing 88 pitches. The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner saw his ERA rise from 0.50 to 0.69. It is the lowest by any pitcher through 13 starts since earned runs became a statistic in 1913.
