Jacob deGrom Returns to Mound, Strikes Out Seven in Rangers Debut

Jacob deGrom made his highly anticipated season debut for the Texas Rangers on Tuesday following a neck issue. In 4.2 innings against the Baltimore Orioles, he allowed three earned runs on six hits with no walks and seven strikeouts. While he did not factor into the decision in the 8-5 victory, his return was a significant milestone for the Rangers. He notably surrendered a home run to former teammate Pete Alonso during his outing.
