Degrom, 37, broke the Randy Johnson renown temple record, the big left -hander who needed 243 games to reach 1,800 stick withdrawals.

Degrom night ended after five work rounds, when he collected five stick withdrawals and three goals on balls. He gave four strokes, three of which on the closure, to total five points deserved during the defeat of 5-4.

It was an unusual beginning for the right -hander despite the history of the MLB which accompanied it. He had not authorized three circuits in a single match since 2022, when his new New York dishes faced the Braves.

Degrom entered this start of possession of an MPM of 2.55 out of 21 appearances (123.2 rounds), when he withdrew 130 strikers at only 26 balls on balls.

In its peak, Degrom was one of the most dominant launchers in the match, winning consecutive Cy Young prizes in 2018 and 2019 as the best clear baseball launcher. At that time, the coveted brand of 3,000 careers was discussed by some.

However, injuries have become an unfortunate reality for Degrom, which launched only 15 games in 2021 with the dishes after managing the stress of the forearm and the inflammation of the elbow.

Then, after a stress reaction in his shoulder blade delayed his departure in 2022 until August, he only made six departures during his beginnings in 2023 with the Rangers before needing Tommy John surgery. It was the second in his baseball career because he torn it shortly after being drafted in 2010.

Degrom only started three games last year for Texas, with whom he signed an $ 185 million agreement over five years before the 2023 campaign.

This year’s production is what the Rangers and his fans base hoped to see when he signed, and despite the difficult release of Sunday evening, Degrom launched at the level he expects himself.
