The Mets were great on their 11-1 run to start the season because it never felt the team was out of the game. Their starting pitching during that stretch ranged from average to bad but the offense kept them in games and they would fight back late. Yesterday, the offense felt like that again as the Mets were able to overcome being down 1-3 and win 5-3 thanks to homers in the ninth inning from Nimmo and Cabrera, the former who is in the midst of a breakout season and the latter who needed it to come out of a slump. Now the Mets will look to make it three wins in a row against the Rockies tonight.
Jacob deGrom is 4-2 over 14 games and 87.1 innings with an ERA of 1.55 (league leading), 1.98 FIP, 1.008 WHIP and 244 ERA+ (league leading). He had a dominating performance again his last time out, pitching 7.0 innings allowing 1 run, but the Mets bats were completely silent. In his last 10 starts in 62.1 innings he has posted a 0.87 ERA with 83 strikeouts.
