deGrom sets MLB record in loss

One damaging sequence at Citi Field — an infield hit, a bloop single and a two-run double — cost Jacob deGrom two runs in the Mets’ defeat to the Marlins on Tuesday, dropping him to 8-9 on the season. In the loss, deGrom submitted his 26th consecutive start of three or fewer runs, breaking Leslie “King” Cole’s 108-year-old Major League record.
