NY Post: Mets waste deGrom rebound as bats get squashed again. "So after pulverizing virtually all pitchers during a seven-game winning streak, the Mets offense turned meek and mild for a second straight losing game, mustering five hits. Boston’s Joe Kelly threw a wet blanket over the Mets bats and pitched the Red Sox to a 3-1 victory before a Citi Field sellout crowd of 43,255 that has the Mets 5 ¹/₂ games up on the Nationals in the NL East."

Jacob deGrom K'd 10 allowing 2 runs in 6 innings after throwing the shortest outing of his career in his previous outing 5 days earlier - 2.2 innings; 7 runs; 6 ERs; 8 hits; 3 HRs; 3 walks; 3 Ks;

ESPN.com: "Mookie Betts homered and scored twice as the last-place Red Sox won for the eighth time in 11 games. They have taken the first two this weekend at Citi Field after the NL East-leading Mets returned from an 8-1 road trip."

Nationals beat the Marlins 5-1 to pull to 5.5 games behind the 1st place Mets.
