Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom had a tough start Saturday against the Dodgers.
deGrom allowed five runs on five hits over six innings. He struck out seven and walked two during the outing. deGrom got off to a decent start, tossing three scoreless frames to open the game. He ran into trouble in the fourth. deGrom walked the leadoff hitter. That hitter wound up coming around to score on a single. The second run of the inning scored on a sac fly. Things didn’t get much better the following inning. With two men on base, Adrian Gonzalez belted a three-run homer to right center.
With the loss, deGrom fell to 6-6. He’ll take on the Phillies in his next start.
