Paddack, Renfroe lead Padres over deGrom, Mets 4-0

By The Associated Press
SAN DIEGO (AP) —
Pumped-up rookie Chris
Paddack struck out a ca-
reer-high 11 to outduel NL
Cy Young Award winner
Jacob deGrom, and Hunt-
er Renfroe homered for San
Diego against New York.
Paddack (3-1) was impres-
sive in his sixth big league
start, allowing just four sin-
gles over 7 2/3 innings.
He struck out Pete Alonso,
the season's first NL Rookie
of the Month, in his first two
at-bats. The right-hander
showed some emotion,
pumping his fist after fan-
ning Alonso on a 98 mph
fastball in the first.
Craig Stammen got four
outs for his second major
league save.
The slumping Mets lost their
fourth straight and were
shut out for the second
time in six games. They've
mustered only seven runs in
their past six games — one
of which went 18 innings.
DeGrom (2-4) allowed two
runs and four hits over sev-
en innings in a game that
took just 2 hours, 14 min-
utes. He struck out seven.
Eric Hosmer had a two-run
double in the eighth.
