Beede, deGrom ready for Round 2 of Mets-Giants battle

Right-handers Jacob deGrom and Tyler Beede have tough acts to follow when they take the ball Friday on the second night of a four-game series between the visiting New York Mets and San Francisco Giants. Former All-Stars Noah Syndergaard and Madison Bumgarner both pitched brilliantly in the series opener Thursday, a game the Giants won 3-2 by outscoring the Mets 2-1 in the 16th inning. Syndergaard pitched seven innings and Bumgarner nine, each allowing just one run.
