Yesterday, the Mets lost to the Mariners 3-2. Jacob deGrom pitched for the Mets and struggled early, but calmed down to give the Mets six innings, while allowing only two earned runs (three total), and striking out 10. The offense didn’t help him as they only managed to record eight hits the two runs.
