Wilmer Flores hit a go-ahead double in the sixth for the Mets (37-37), who avoided falling two games below .500 for the first time this year.

New York completed a 1-7 trip during which it was outscored 31-11 and hit .177.

DeGrom (8-5) struck out seven and walked none in the eighth straight start in which he has given up two earned runs or fewer.

Jeurys Familia pitched a perfect ninth for his 20th save in 22 chances.
