Mets ace Jacob deGrom returned to the mound Tuesday night in his first start since going on the Injured List two weeks ago.
DeGrom showed no signs of rust, for though he was limited to five innings he still managed to strike out nine batters while scattering just three hits.
Also got a no decision. What else is new?
DeGrom did show his human side in the fourth inning. After stretching a single into an apparent double (seriously–what can’t this guy do?) deGrom popped off the second-base bag for a split second and was tagged out.
Still got credit for a single.
And he’s now hitting .471.
