Meet the Mets
Jacob deGrom took the mound in the series opener against the Nationals and pitched the best game of his career, throwing a complete game two-hit shutout with a career high 15 strikeouts (and notching two hits at the plate as well) to lead the Mets to a 6-0 win.

deGrom recorded his 50th strikeout on the season last night, passing Nolan Ryan and Shane Bieber’s records for the most strikeouts in a pitcher’s first four starts to open a season.
The dominance that deGrom has demonstrated during this stretch needs to be put into perspective to be fully appreciated.
Prior to the game yesterday, the Mets optioned Joey Lucchesi to the alternate site and recalled left-handed reliever Stephen Tarpley.
The Wilpons—remember them?—are reportedly exploring the possibility of selling SNY, with Steve Cohen being one of the parties potentially interested in purchasing the network.
Could deGrom continue to dominate deep into his thirties? Experts think he’s got a legitimate chance.
Zack Scott provided comments on a variety of subjects, including the positives and negatives of the season thus far and the eventual returns of Noah Syndergaard and Seth Lugo.
