Mike Puma NY Post: Jacob deGrom electric in eight-inning,one-hit gem. “Jacob deGrom was brilliant for eight innings against the Cardinals, allowing one hit and retiring the last 23 batters he faced in a 5-0 victory that snapped the Mets’ two-game skid…DeGrom (5-4) struck out 11 and did not allow a base runner after Matt Carpenter singled in the first inning. The right-hander was removed after 104 pitches and handed a five-run lead to Jeurys Familia in the ninth.”

With the win, the Mets moved to a half game of the idle 1st place Nationals.
