Jacob deGrom gets little help from Mets' bats, benches clear in loss to Rockies

NEW YORK _ The Mets started Wilson Ramos behind the plate with Jacob deGrom on the mound on Friday night to give their offense a little more oomph against the Rockies. The Ramos-deGrom pairing was fine, but the Mets were six-hit by four Colorado pitchers in a 5-1 loss before 27,520 at Citi Field.

DeGrom (3-6) allowed two runs in six innings and left trailing 2-1.

The game got out of hand in more ways than one in the eighth. Drew Gagnon, after allowing long home runs to David Dahl (two-run shot) and Daniel Murphy to give the Rockies a 5-1 lead, hit Ian Desmond in the back with a pitch.
