New York Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom took down the New York Yankees on Monday. DeGrom threw 6 2/3 innings, allowing two earned runs on five hits with 12 strikeouts. It was the second straight win for deGrom, who improved his record on the season to 7-7. The ace pitcher lowered his earned run average to a microscopic 1.81 and he remains firmly in the conversation for the National League Cy Young Award. DeGrom will take the mound next against the Philadelphia Phillies.
