[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] The Rangers' "best pitcher on the planet" Jacob deGrom made a high-quality start today with 12K scoreless runs in 6 innings, but his good pitches came to naught and he could only "ask the sky". After he became the winner and left the game with a 3-point lead, the situation changed. The Mariners poured in 4 points in the 7th inning to come back, including "J-Rod" Rodriguez (Julio) Rodríguez's early 3-pointer defeated the Rangers 4:3 in the final, and DeGron missed his 11th win of the season.

The 38-year-old DeGeron showed the amazing suppression power of two Cy Young pitches today. The strikeout show started with 5 consecutive K's and eliminated 15 batters in a row, including 9 K's. He did not allow the Mariners' batters to get on base at all. He had no hits and no walks in the first 5 innings until he was beaten by Cole Young (Cole), the first batter of the inning. Young hit the pitcher's power ball, resulting in an infield hit, which derailed DeGron's no-hitter and complete game. Although DeGron later threw a wild pitch and the runner advanced to second base, he recovered in time, soared 2K and allowed J.P. Crawford to hit a fly ball to center field, resolving the crisis of losing runs.

In this campaign, DeGron pitched 92 pitches in 6 innings, allowing only 1 hit and no runs. The 12K hit was his single-season high with the Rangers, and his ERA dropped to 3.80. The Rangers relied on Joc Pederson's 2-point cannon to score the lead before he left the game. Nicky Lopez's timely hit in the 5th inning helped the team expand the lead. The Rangers took a 3-point lead in the first 6 inning.

However, the situation changed after DeGrone left the game. Bullpen pitcher Jakob Junis came up and set fire to the game in the bottom of the seventh inning. He didn't catch any outs and lost 4 runs in a single inning. "J-Rod" Rodriguez hit a 3-pointer and knocked DeGron's winning pitch away. The Mariners reversed 4:3 in the end and won 2 consecutive games. Junis suffered his third loss of the season.

The 29-year-old Mariners star strong pitcher Logan Gilbert pitched 11K and allowed 3 runs in 7 innings, winning his 12th win of the season. He and DeGron struck out 23 times in a single game, which was the most since the game between the Warriors and Giants on August 12, 2024. At that time, "Auction Brother" Chris Sale and Blake Snell also threw a combined 23K.

It is worth mentioning that Gilbert and DeGron both attended Stanson University. Two starting pitchers from the same university each struck out 10 times in the same game, which was the first time in the history of the major leagues.
