What It Means:

deGrom's only mistake came to Addison Russell, who hit a 3-1 pitch over the right field wall in the seventh inning. The Mets' ace threw 116 pitches (80 for strikes) as he walked four and struckout six in a nice bounce back performance. deGrom will face the Washington Nationals in his next start on Sunday.

deGrom is now sporting a 3.35 xFIP with a 5-3 record and 100 strikeouts in 13 starts (81 innings pitched).
