Mets Morning News: Parker Lewis couldn’t lose and Jacob deGrom can’t win

Meet the Mets

On a night that the Mets broke one epic losing streak, Jacob deGrom once against found himself robbed of a win by the deadened bats of his teammates. Despite pitching six innings and giving up only one run, deGrom exited the Mets’ contest with the Dodgers with the score tied 1-1. It wasn’t until the ninth inning, where Brandon Nimmo pulled through with a clutch home run, that the Mets grabbed the lead, too late for deGrom to benefit. So the Mets snapped their two year losing streak against the Dodgers, but deGrom remains a deeply unfair 8-8 with a 1.68 ERA.
