Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom surrendered two earned runs on four hits and one walk in four innings while striking out five and earned the win in Monday's 12-3 victory over the Marlins.
The Mets tabbed deGrom to pitch the second game of the season Monday, lining him up to be on the mound for the team's home opener in his second scheduled start. He's allowed five earned runs in 15 innings this spring while striking out 17 batters and walking only two.
"I struggled with keeping the ball down today," deGrom said to the New York Post. "It was just one of those days where I didn’t have the best feel for where I was throwing it. I must have rushed a little bit."
