NY's deGrom wins battle of aces, Miami's Fernandez hit hard (Yahoo Sports)

New York Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom showed no lingering effects from the back tightness that forced him to miss Monday's start, out-pitching Miami Marlins ace Jose Fernandez in a 6-5 win Thursday. DeGrom limited the Marlins to one hit in three innings while striking out three. Fernandez struck out four over two perfect innings to start the game before struggling through the next two frames.
