Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom didn't factor into the decision Saturday after giving up three earned runs on just three hits and two walks in 6 1/3 innings while striking out 11 in his team's 5-4 win over the Phillies.
DeGrom was brilliant through the first six frames, holding the Phillies scoreless on two hits and a walk while striking out 10, but he surrendered a three-run home run after the first two batters of the seventh inning reached base. Aside from that home run, he's kept the opposition off the scoreboard for two straight starts. He owns a 2.42 ERA and 25:12 K:BB ratio in 26 innings, which he'll take into Thursday's matchup with the Cubs.
