DeGrom dominant in Mets' win, Tatis homers again

Jacob deGrom was in dominant form in MLB on Sunday, while Fernando Tatis Jr homered again.

DeGrom gave up just three hits as he struck out 12 over seven innings to lead the New York Mets past the Philadelphia Phillies 14-1.

Dominic Smith went four-for-five with three RBIs in the Mets' comfortable victory.

Phillies pitcher Aaron Nola struck out 10, but he conceded eight hits and six runs (three earned) in 5.1 innings.

Tatis crushed his 15th homer of the season in the San Diego Padres' 5-3 win over the Oakland Athletics.

The 21-year-old sensation is tied with Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout for the most home runs this year.
