Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom pitched eight shutout innings in Monday night's 7-0 win over the Padres.
He held the Padres to only two hits in the game. It's the second time in the past three games that deGrom was able to go eight innings without giving up a run.
"This is probably one of the best games I've seen him pitch," manager Terry Collins said after the game, per MLB.com. "And I've seen him pitch some really, really good ones."
It was a dominant performance that saw deGrom throw nine strikeouts and walk zero batters. His ERA is now 2.41 for the season.
"This is the best I've been at repeating it, staying on top of the ball and getting good downward movement like I did last year," deGrom said. "I think I'm just in a better rhythm now."
The next projected start for deGrom is on Sunday against the Diamondbacks.
