never was going to be easy for the Phillies, but Mets starter Jacob deGrom nearly was perfect Saturday night.
He allowed only two hits and no walks and no runs with 10 strikeouts through six innings in a 1-0 Mets win. He was economical, too. The right-handed pitcher finished his night at 76 pitches and 57 strikes, deftly mixing his four-seam fastball, his slider, and a few curveballs and changeups. Saturday marked deGrom’s third start of the 2022 season, after coming off the 60-day injured list on Aug. 2. It was his first scoreless outing of the season.The Phillies looked largely lifeless at the plate. In the top of the third inning, moments after striking out, Nick Maton stared down the right field line in a daze. In the top of the fifth inning, Brandon Marsh swung at a 92.6 mph slider just outside the bottom of the zone and landed on his knee. DeGrom’s next pitch was an 100.
The Phillies did not have much luck against the Mets bullpen. They recorded only one hit and two walks off of Mets relievers Seth Lugo, Trevor May, and Edwin Diaz but did show some fight at the end — both walks came off of Diaz in the top of the ninth, and Edmundo Sosa stole third base to put runners on second and third. The Phillies’ offense finished their night with three hits and two walks with 14 strikeouts. After the loss, the Phillies are 63-50.
