I didn’t see the game but Yowza…
Mets: New York has dropped four-straight games and is 19-42 in its last 61 games.
• The Mets are 7-9 in their last 16 home games, 9-24 in their last 33 games at home and 21-35 at home overall this season.
• New York is 3-11 against Atlanta this season…The Mets last lost 11 or more games vs. the Braves in 2012 (went 6-12 against Atlanta that season).
• The Mets are 10-20 in one-run games this season (5-11 in such games at home).
Offense: The Mets were held to one run tonight on two hits…Was the 24th time this season the Mets have scored one or no runs…Only
Baltimore (27) has been held to one or no runs more times this season.
• The Mets’ two hits tonight tied a season-low (fourth time)…Including tonight, three of those four games have occurred at Citi Field…The other was June 13 at Atlanta (also a Jacob deGrom start)…The four such games are tied for third-most in the majors…The Dodgers and Nationals have five such games.
Jacob deGrom (8.0 IP, 6 H, 2 R/2 ER, 1 BB, 9 K): Lost his fifth-straight decision, the longest losing streak of his career…During the streak, has posted a 2.47 ERA (14 earned runs/51.0 innings) in seven starts…Was his 19th-straight start allowing three or fewer runs…In those 19 games, deGrom is 3-7 with a 1.68 ERA (24 earned runs/128.2 innings)…The Mets are 5-14 in those 19 starts.
• Pitched a season-high-tying 8.0 innings for the sixth time this season…No other pitcher in the majors has more than four outings of at least 8.0 innings.
• Matched his career-high, set last year, with his sixth outing of at least 8.0 innings with no more than two earned runs allowed…The last Mets pitcher (besides deGrom) with at least six such outings in a season was R.A. Dickey, who had eight such starts in his NL Cy Young Award-winning campaign in 2012.
• The Mets are winless in his five starts vs. Atlanta this season despite his 1.09 ERA (four earned runs/33.0 innings) in those games…
DeGrom is the only NL starter who has faced the same team five times this season.
• Has thrown 14 quality starts in a row, the longest streak by a Mets pitcher since R.A. Dickey strung together 14-straight quality outings from July 25, 2011-April 13, 2012.
• Has issued three or fewer walks in a career-high 40-straight starts dating to June 18 of last season…The streak is the eighth-longest in Mets history and is tied with Daniel Hudson’s identical streak for the longest active run in the NL.
deGrom at the Plate: Drove in the Mets’ lone run tonight with a game-tying RBI single in the third inning…Was his second RBI this season…Is one of five pitchers with at least two RBI in every season since 2014…Four of his 14 career RBI have come against the Braves, his most against any one opponent.
