Jacob deGrom had one of the worst starts of his career the last time he pitched, so he was looking to get back on track Monday against the A’s. Boy, did he ever. The two-time Cy Young winner tossed seven scoreless innings, allowing one hit and facing the minimum in an 8-1 win . He struck out eight with a wider pitch arsenal than he typically uses. He also made some mechanical adjustments that he thinks will help him going forward. It was a good team win that saw the offense deliver in a variety of ways.
