Rangers 5, A’s 2
- Another series win in the books.
- I still don’t know that I’ve fully wrapped my mind around the fact that Jacob deGrom is a Ranger. I mean, I know it intellectually, but it still seems, I don’t know, foreign as a concept.
- deGrom allowed just three hits in six innings, but one of them was a home run after an E6, so he allowed two runs. 11 Ks, 0 walks. Freaky, innit?
- deGrom now has a 1.44 FIP on the season. He has a 3.04 ERA because of a lousy strand rate — almost half the runners he’s allowed to get on base have scored — but that would seem likely to even out over the course of the season.
