deGrom can’t match Fernandez as Mets fall
- Updated: July 24, 2016
MIAMI — Jose Fernandez on Saturday continued to dominate at Marlins Park, and Giancarlo Stanton nearly damaged the stadium’s accessories in Miami’s 7-2 victory over the Mets.
Fernandez struck out seven and allowed two runs over seven innings, while Stanton smacked a two-run homer off the auxiliary scoreboard in left field among his four hits and three RBIs on a night the Marlins rebounded from Friday’s 5-3 loss to even their three-game series. With the win, Miami moved 1 1/2 games ahead of New York for second place in the National League East.
The Marlins tagged Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom for five runs on 10 hits in 3 2/3 innings, making Saturday the second-shortest start of the right-hander’s career. The only time deGrom went fewer innings was on Aug. 24, 2015, at the Phillies when he went 2 2/3 frames. Yoenis Cespedes had an RBI single for New York in a two-run third inning.
Fernandez, now 9-1 at home this year, is 12-4 on the season, matching his career high for wins. In his 2013 NL Rookie of the Year Award season, Fernandez was 12-6.
