DeGrom (5-4) took the loss Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk over six innings while striking out eight as the Mets dropped a 5-2 decision to the Marlins.
The right-hander cruised through five scoreless innings before running into trouble in the sixth, serving up a two-run homer to Brian Anderson and then watching Wilmer Flores misplay a JT Riddle tapper that allowed Justin Bour to score and put the Marlins up for good. DeGrom has delivered nine straight quality but has somehow emerged with only a 2-4 record over that stretch. He'll carry a 1.84 ERA into his next outing Friday at home against the Rays.
