Pitching Matchup

Texas: RHP Jacob deGrom (3-3, 3.02) vs. Angels: RHP Grayson Rodriguez (0-1, 17.18)

deGrom lost his last start when he faced the Houston Astros as he gave up five hits and four earned runs in six innings. It was just the second time in his career that he allowed four home runs in a game.

He enters the game leading the Majors in strikeout to walk ratio. He’s fanned 61 and walked eight this season. Batters are hitting just .201 against him. But home runs remain an issue. He’s given up 10 in nine starts after allowing 26 in 30 starts last season. It’s the one concern about an otherwise sharp start to the season for the right-hander, who could use more run support.

The Angels acquired Rodriguez in a trade from the Baltimore Orioles in the offseason. He landed on the injured list to start the season with right shoulder inflammation. He was activated earlier this week and made his first appearance with the Halos against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He went 3.2 innings, giving up seven hits and seven earned runs. He struck out four and walked four.

The Rangers may be catching him at the right time. The native Texan is still getting sharp. When the former first-round pick made his MLB debut in 2023 he did it at Globe Life Field with Baltimore. He missed the 2025 season after elbow debridement surgery at the end of the 2024 season.
