deGrom

deGrom gave up three hits, walked two and struck out six. He improved to 5-4 with the win. deGrom cruised through the first two innings, retiring the first six batters of the game in order. Ultimately he made in through six innings without allowing a run. His ERA is 3.18. deGrom is lined up to face the Red Sox on the road next weekend.

It’s his 100th career victory to go along with 69 losses. The key for deGrom this year is taking on NL teams, apparently. He’s faced four and gone 4-0, allowing just two runs in 23 2/3 innings. He’s 0-4 with four no-decisions and a 5.05 ERA against AL clubs. Unfortunately (not really), deGrom’s next start will come Sunday at home against Cleveland.

The first run deGrom allowed on the evening came on a sacrifice fly in the second inning that scored Taylor Trammell from third after he doubled to lead off the inning. deGrom would later surrender a solo homer to Yordan Alvarez in the fourth inning, but otherwise did his part to limit runs and keep players off base. The veteran righty struggled in May, allowing four or more earned runs in three of his five starts while posting a 6.45 ERA on the month. His next start is scheduled for Monday on the road against the Cardinals.

DeGrom gave up a leadoff homer, two walks and another homer in a four-run first inning. He followed with an easy second, but after he allowed three singles and a walk in a two-run third, the Rangers made the rather surprising call to pull him after 65 pitches. There was nothing after the game to suggest anything physical was involved. DeGrom had decent velocity tonight, and he got 13 whiffs while allowing five hard-hit balls. He should still be fine to use against the Astros next week.

Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez homered in the first, and Christian Walker and Zach Cole went deep in the fourth. Aside from that, deGrom allowed just one other hit and no walks. He struck out four. It’s the second time deGrom has allowed four homers, the other time occurring in 2017 against the Cardinals. Randal Grichuk, Paul DeJong, Dexter Fowler and Jedd Gyorko were responsible then. DeGrom dropped to 3-3 with a 3.02 ERA. He’ll face the Angels next week.

He allowed only three hits, a double to Nico Hoerner and singles from Hoerner and Michael Busch, and walked none. It’s his 63rd career 10-strikeout game and 47th start of at least six scoreless innings. It also went as his 99th career win in 256 starts. DeGrom is 3-2 with a 2.62 ERA this season, and he’ll get the Astros next.

DeGrom struck out seven but gave up two homers tonight. He allowed four runs through six, yet he was left in to start the seventh anyway and was charged with two more runs then after giving up two singles (the latter being a bunt) and leaving with one out and runners on first and second. It’s the first time that he’s allowed six runs in a game as a Ranger. He did so 10 times as a Met, most recently in 2019. He’ll take a 3.11 ERA into Sunday’s start versus the Cubs.

DeGrom surrendered a run to the Yankees in the first inning on two hits. He locked in on the mound from that point, going five more scoreless frames while giving up just one more hit and no walks with five strikeouts on 13 whiffs. The 37-year-old right-hander has gone five straight starts allowing one run or fewer. He ends his day with a 2.01 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, and a 40/7 K/BB ratio across 31 1/3 innings. DeGrom lines up for a rematch against the Yankees in New York next Tuesday.

DeGrom scattered just five hits and one walk on the evening. The only blemish on his day came on a solo blast off the bat of Oneil Cruz in the fifth inning. DeGrom piled up a whopping 20 swings and misses on 89 pitches on the night — nine of those on his heater which averaged 97.5 mph — while registering an elite CSW of 38 percent. He has been terrific through his first five starts, posting a 2-0 record, 2.13 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and a 35/7 K/BB ratio across 25 1/3 innings. He’ll look to keep the good times rolling when he takes on the Yankees at home on Tuesday.

DeGrom threw 32 pitches in the first and 88 through four while allowing four hits, walking two and striking out three. It’s likely that another team would have managed at least a couple of runs off him, as he wasn’t particularly sharp. The best the Mariners could do, though, was deny him a victory. DeGrom figures to face the Pirates on Thursday.
