To end the second inning of the game, deGrom struck out Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford. This was the 1,800th strikeout of his career, and according to the MLB's official X account, he is the fastest pitcher to reach this milestone in games and innings.

It was a greatest hits run by a Texas offense that has struggled against left-handers, with runners in scoring position and when behind in games.

If a team needs to salvage a series split, Jacob deGrom is the guy you want on the mound. But on Sunday afternoon, nothing went as planned for deGrom and the Rangers.
