Jacob deGrom Strikes Out Nine In Return Tuesday
4 years agoNew York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (side) struck out nine in a 3-1 win over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday in his return from the injured list. The two-time Cy Young winner gave up just a solo home run in his five innings of work while allowing three total hits. deGrom hit 100 mph with his fastball and also showcased his nasty slider in his first outing since May 9. The right-hander didn't walk a single batter and was removed after 63 pitches. "Everything felt good. Body felt good," said deGrom, who said he is pretty sure he hurt himself on a swing against Arizona. Fantasy manager didn't get a win out of deGrom, but the ace looked like his old self in the shortened outing, which is great news in and of itself. The 32-year-old will face off against the Atlanta Braves next, where he'll obviously be a must-start.
