MLB Note - New York Mets deGrom, Jacob

Jul 26, 2017 - 10:34 AM RHP Jacob deGrom came within a pitch of a rarity Monday night - the Immaculate Inning . . . or three strikeouts on nine pitches. It has only been done 81 times in Major League history with two Mets --Nolan Ryan (1968) and David Cone (1991) - having done it. deGrom needed 10 pitches to strike out the side in the first. The only extra pitch was a two-strike foul tip by Carlos Asuaje off the mask of plate umpire Mark Rippinger.
