Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom pitched well enough to pick up his second career win Friday, but the offense and bullpen didn't provide much help in a 3-2 extra-innings loss to the Pirates.
deGrom pitched into the seventh inning for the second start in a row, though he as unable to finish it this time around. He allowed two runs in 6 2/3 innings of work, with five hits and three walks. He struck out four batters on 90 pitches in the no-decision.
Despite just a 1-4 record, deGrom has had a solid rookie season so far. He has a 3.62 ERA with 45 strikeouts in 54 2/3 innings heading into his next start, set for Wednesday in Atlanta.
