The Atlanta Braves’ Josh Donaldson follows through on his home run to center field during the fifth inning of Sunday night’s game against the New York Mets.ATLANTA – Jacob deGrom is giving up home runs and struggling with his control at the moment.
Even the ace right-hander isn’t exactly sure what’s going on.
DeGrom had another tough start Sunday night as the New York Mets lost 7-3 to the Atlanta Braves.
“I’m not really throwing the ball where I want to right now,” deGrom said. “Kind of cutting the fastball, yanking the slider, changeup is good at times, but at other times it’s not. I don’t know if it’s something mechanical. I’ll have to get in there and figure it out.”
Josh Donaldson and Nick Markakis homered as Atlanta won for the fifth time in its past seven games. Markakis and Donaldson also connected during Saturday’s 11-7 victory over New York.
