The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner threw 68 pitches over five innings against Arizona, allowing one run, but he called for a trainer when he felt discomfort trying to get loose prior to the sixth. He left with the trainer and went straight to the clubhouse, and it was not immediately announced what caused him to leave.
DeGrom struck out six and allowed one hit. He was perfect through four innings before struggling in the fifth, when he allowed a run.
The right-hander walked three in the inning, just the second time in his career he's done that. His previous three-walk inning was May 13, 2018, at Philadelphia. He was pulled after one inning in that game, his first back from the injured list.
