Jacob deGrom solid, Pete Alonso hits massive HR as Mets beat Rockies at Citi Field

NEW YORK — There may not be anything the Mets need more over the final month or so of the regular season, and presumably, the postseason, than a healthy and sharp Jacob deGrom. That’s one of the reasons the Mets moved deGrom’s start this week back two days, from Tuesday against the Yankees to Thursday against the Rockies.

DeGrom missed more than half this season while rehabbing a shoulder injury and if there’s ever a chance to give him an extra couple of days of rest, the Mets will take it.

DeGrom responded well, striking out nine, allowing three hits and just one run in the Mets’ 3-1 win over Colorado at Citi Field. The Mets won their 80th game of the season and are now up two full games on the second-place Braves, who were off.
