— Jacob deGrom called his rare, late September flop unacceptable.ace got hit around and lasted a season-low four innings, and New York lost 10-4 to the Oakland Athletics on Saturday to see its lead cut in the NL East race.
In his last three starts, deGrom has allowed 11 earned runs in 15 innings. The four walks doubled his previous season total. "He's spoiled us with a high level of pitching like most of our guys," manager Buck Showalter said."I don't think anybody ever took anything for granted. What he does over a long period in his career is very hard to do."
DeGrom had struck out eight or more with either one or no walks in eight straight starts, the longest such streak in major league history, but fanned a season-low five. Rookie Dermis García hit a two-run double in the bottom of the first against deGrom, who surrendered Vimael Machin's one-out single and then issued consecutive walks to Sean Murphy and Brown.
I’m glad it happened before the playoff. Now he can shake it off and try again with a fresh mind no loss
