deGrom dazzles as Mets breeze past Padres

Jacob deGrom continues to roll and the Mets got their road trip back on the winning track, disposing of the Padres, 5-1, on Friday night. deGrom (3-0) kept his record spotless by keeping San Diego in check for 7 1/3 innings. He was threatened just once in scattering five hits and three walks. He struck out eight as the Mets, after losing two straight in St. Louis, won for the fifth time in their last 12 games. Asdrubal Cabrera delivered the big blow with a three-run homer in the seventh.
