NEW YORK — Jacob deGrom did what you would expect him to do against the Pirates on Sunday: He deGrominated.
But then, suddenly and shockingly, deGrom was in the dugout shaking his head after giving up a game-tying three-run home run.
So the Mets had to go to Plan B to finish a four-game sweep of the Pirates. That came on Brandon Nimmo’s go-ahead single in the eighth that scored secret weapon Terrence Gore, the speedster with three World Series rings who set up the run as a pinch runner by stealing second and moving to third on a throwing error.
