New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom continued to put together a season for the ages on Monday when he had another dominating outing against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

During another no decision for deGrom, the 30-year-old right-hander allowed three runs or less for the 25th consecutive start during a single season when he gave up one earned run across six innings.

The mark is a major-league record, dating back to 1913, according to the Mets' official Twitter account.

The last time deGrom allowed more than three runs in a game was Apr. 10 in Miami against the Marlins, when he gave up a season-high four.

He's also had nine starts of six-plus innings pitched while allowing one run or fewer without getting the win. This is the most over an entire season in MLB history, according to ESPN Stats & Info.

Despite his spectacular season - which includes a major-league best 1.68 ERA - deGrom has only amassed eight wins thanks to the Mets' inability to score runs with him on the hill.

In fact, deGrom was responsible for the Mets only run of the night, while he was still pitching, after driving in Jay Bruce with an RBI knock in the fifth.
