Jacob deGrom has been effective, but he's still not feeling as good as he did on the mound last season.

"I'm still not feeling very comfortable on the mound," deGrom said. "My front side is still not getting up where I want it to. But I kept us in that ballgame. That was my main goal. They say this is a pretty tough place to pitch, but overall I felt decent."

deGrom has been pitching with lower velocity this season and has struggled with his mechanics, but he has a 2.50 ERA through six starts. 

"When I go out there, I go out there with what I've got," deGrom said. "During the game, you can't think about it too much. You take what you've got out there and do what you can with it. That's kind of what I did today. My secondary pitches weren't great. They were hitting some balls hard right at people. I got fortunate there."
