Concern about deGrom’s health clouds Mets’ five-game win streak

Winners of five in a row, the New York Mets have a big test brewing:

Jacob deGrom is getting an MRI.

The two-time Cy Young Award winner was pulled after five innings with right side tightness in his return from an injury to a similar area, but the bullpen closed out a fourhitter as New York won at Citi Field over the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-2 Sunday.

DeGrom (3-2) was perfect through four innings but labored in the fifth, then called for trainer Brian Chicklo after throwing two warm-up pitches ahead of the sixth. DeGrom exited and went straight to the clubhouse.

“No pain whatsoever, just tightness,” manager Luis Rojas said. “That’s what he told our trainer.”

DeGrom was coming off a 10-day layoff, skipping his previous turn in the rotation because of a right lat issue.

Hand, who like Stanton began his career with the Marlins, walked Tyler Wade and pinch-hitter Aaron Judge starting the ninth, a day after walking his first batter and blowing ninth- and 10th-inning leads in a game New York won 4-3 in 11 innings.

Red Sox 4, Orioles 3:

●

Rafael Devers and Hunter Renfroe homered, Nick Pivetta won his third consecutive start and Boston won at Baltimore.
