| Hair-band enthusiast Jacob deGrom tied a major-league record by striking out the first 8 batters of the game. Bonus points if you knew the record was set by Astros legend Jim Deshaies. |
Studs: Danger Zaun pitchers Andrew Cashner (21 points), Stephen Strasburg (19) and Alfredo Simon (10) combined for 23 innings, 17 Ks, zero runs allowed and 2 wins — way to not support your pitcher, Reds. Strasburg also had an RBI single. Jacob deGrom (AL) struck out 13 and allowed 3 runs in a 7-run no-decision — as usual, the Mets bullpen totally Metted it up. Wade Miley (AL) singled, scored and fanned 4 while allowing 1 run in a 7-inning win. Mark Trumbo (FF) hit a grand slam and an RBI single.
Dud: The Associated Press writer who typed this with a straight face: "Despite squandering a two-run lead, deGrom was in line to win before Miami scored three in the eighth against New York's best relievers. Jeurys Familia (2-5) gave up four straight hits, and (Jeff) Mathis delivered a two-out single off closer Jenrry Mejia."
