NEW YORK (AP) – Jacob deGrom conceded only two hits and struck out 10 in seven innings, pitching the New York Mets past Colorado 3-0 on Wednesday night for their second consecutive shutout against the Rockies.

Yoenis Cespedes hit his first home run for the surging Mets, who have won 10 of 12. Juan Uribe stroked an RBI double in the fourth and Michael Cuddyer followed with a run-scoring single on a night when both players reached 1,500 career hits.

Surprise leaders in the NL East, the Mets (62-52) matched their season high at 10 games over .500. They handed Colorado its ninth defeat in a row at Citi Field since 2013 – after the Rockies won eight straight at the ballpark the previous two years.

New York improved to 41-18 at home, surpassing its 2014 win total (40) in the cozy stadium.

Last season’s NL Rookie of the Year, deGrom (11-6) entered with the second-lowest ERA in the National League at 2.13. He finished with his eighth career double-digit strikeout game and fourth this season.
