The Alternate Universe: Padres at Mets 7-5-2020

The Mets can’t fall back into bad habits, namely not scoring for Jacob deGrom. It’s such a shame considering how good deGrom has been during the daytime, as he only gave up an earned runs in seven innings against San Diego today. The problem was that two earned runs scored thanks to a throwing error by Jake Marisnick of all people, as his ill advised throw to third to try to get Trent Grisham at third sailed into the stands, scoring both Grisham and Jurickson Profar when it should have been first and third with two outs in the fifth. A home run by Wil Myers in the 7th gave the Padres a 3-0 lead and gave deGrom a very frustrating outing … the kind of outing he’s mostly avoided this season.
But that’s been the Hallmark of deGrom’s Cy Young seasons, right? Great performance, no run support, .500 record. Wash, rinse, repeat. It isn’t as if the Mets didn’t try to take this zombie out of the fire...
