New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom strikes out 9 in row, 14 in all, to beat Colorado Rockies
He fell short of the record and nearly missed a win.
DeGrom finished with 14 strikeouts to lead the New York Mets over the Rockies 4-3 in a doubleheader opener. He threw his last pitch trailing and wound up with a win for just the third time the first since 2015.
Seaver set the record against San Diego on April 22, 1970, striking out his final 10 batters in a 19-strikeout performance. That would have been nice to reach but fell a little short, deGrom said with a smile.

The Hall of Fame right-hander posted a 1.43 ERA over 390 2/3 innings, racking up 259 strikeouts while issuing only 42 walks. Mathewson completed 34 of his 44 starts that year, including a franchise-record 11 shutouts. “Big Six” was worth 10.8 Wins Above Replacement in 08, the highest single-season total by a pitcher in Giants history, according to FanGraphs.
