DeGrom allowed three runs while striking out three and walking three across 6.1 innings Sunday against the Rockies. He did not factor into the decision.
Pitching at Coors Field is a rather daunting task these days, but DeGrom was sharp Sunday, tossing his second straight quality start and keeping his team in the game. DeGrom has a shiny 2.50 ERA through six starts, but his K/9 rate sits at a paltry 5.8, down significantly from his 2015 mark of 9.7. Despite his lack of punch outs, DeGrom has been able to achieve success even with a BABIP that is up 4.5 percent from last year, indicating that better things could be in store as he heads into a cushy matchup versus the Brewers on Saturday.
