DeGrom (7-6) was smacked around for eight runs on 13 hits and a walk over five innings in Thursday's road loss to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

The hit and run totals were both career worsts for deGrom, and this amazingly marks the first time in his three seasons that he's allowed double-digit hits twice in a campaign. This start is about as far out of character for deGrom as it gets -- he allowed one more run Thursday than he'd given up in his prior six outings put together, and that includes a five-run blow-up back on July 23. In fact, this outing and that one together account for more than 30 percent of his earned runs for the season. He'll look to return to more typical form Wednesday against St. Louis.
