NEW YORK (AP) -- Jacob deGrom burnished his rookie of the year credentials by pitching three-hit ball for eight dominant innings, and the New York Mets held on to beat the Colorado Rockies 2-0 Tuesday night for their sixth win in seven games.

Jeurys Familia got Wilin Rosario to ground out with the bases loaded for his fifth save. Mets closer Jenrry Familia gave up two hits and a walk and got only one out before manager Terry Collins brought on Josh Edgin. The left-hander struck out slugger Corey Dickerson.

The win came after the Mets learned captain David Wright would be shut down for the rest of the season because of inflammation in his left shoulder. The third baseman had an MRI on Tuesday and didn't play.

Juan Lagares had an RBI single to help the Mets move to five games of .500 (70-75).
