Mets Turn Tide, Pick Up deGrom
It s not often that Superman needs help but it happens. In seasons past, Jake deGrom would take the mound, give up one run and lose the game 1-0. This year is different. No, Jake is still Superman but this year, his faithful teammates aren t letting him down.
Today the Mets lone All Star, who has decided he will not attend the festivities in Colorado, left after pitching a complete 7 inning game (1st game of a day/night doubleheader) trailing 2-1 with the Mets coming to their final at bat. As mentioned, in years past, deGrom s teammates go down feebly and Jake loses another heartbreaker. Not this year. Not this Mets team.

So far this season, injuries have been just about the only thing to put a damper on the Dodgers’ fun. Even with center fielder Cody Bellinger and second baseman Gavin Lux sidelined by various ailments, and Mookie Betts in and out of the lineup, the team has bolted from the gate with a 14-4 record, giving them the best record in the majors admittedly, something they were projected to have and producing a start that places them among the best in franchise history and among defending champions.
On Tuesday, Julio Urías rode the hybrid breaking ball that Ben Clemens wrote about to a career-high 11 strikeouts while allowing just one hit and one walk in seven shutout innings against the Mariners. A third-inning RBI single by Corey Seager gave him all the support he would need, helping the Dodgers to a 1-0 win that snapped a two-game losing streak and bought them another day towards better health.
