deGrom ties Gooden for Mets’ best 1st-half ERA

Not in more than three decades has a Mets pitcher shined for half a season quite like Jacob deGrom. And at no point in team history has such dominance been so unjustly rewarded in the win column. Manager Mickey Callaway offered his ace something of an olive branch Wednesday night, after deGrom capped his stellar first half in a 3-0 win over the Phillies at Citi Field.
