Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom padded his bid to be in this year's All-Star Game with a brilliant performance on Thursday against the Brewers. The reigning NL Rookie of the Year twirled eight scoreless innings, allowing just four hits and zero walks while striking out seven. He finished with an even 100 pitches on the afternoon, as he put an end to the Mets' seven-game losing streak.
The dominant effort lowered deGrom's ERA to 2.15, and improved his record to 8-5. The win was the first for deGrom since June 7.
"He's got tremendous stuff," manager Terry Collins said, per the Star-Ledger. "He knows how to use it. His last six, seven starts have been outstanding. He's the guy we saw last year. This is legit. He's not going through any sophomore slump."
