Marlins rookies help beat deGrom, Mets
Jazz Chisholm Jr. watched Jacob deGrom’s first 100 mph fastball and wasn’t impressed.
“People were saying, ‘It’s an angry 100, it gets on you,’ ” the Marlins’ brazen, bluehaired Bahamian said. “It didn’t really get on me like I was expecting.”
“Some people’s 100 is a little lighter,” he added. “To me, it felt like he was on the lighter side.”
Miami’s youngsters don’t scare easily. Chisholm hit a homer off an otherwise dominant deGrom, Trevor Rogers beat the twotime Cy Young Award winner for the second time and the Marlins topped the New York Mets 30 Saturday at Citi Field. DeGrom (01) matched a career best with 14 strikeouts over eight innings, the 23yearold Rogers (11) fanned 10 in six and the teams combined for 28 overall.
Rogers mixed a fastball averaging 95 mph with a slider and changeup, inducing 19 swingandmisses in 82 pitches.
