Jacob deGrom’s Near-Perfect Masterpiece: How Close Did He Come to History with the Rangers?
Texas removed deGrom after he faced 24 batters. He had thrown 59 of 89 pitches for strikes.
Manager Bruce Bochy said deGrom was throwing well and he planned to give him a chance to finish a no-hit bid. The Rangers have been limiting deGrom to around 80 pitches per game.
“First guy that got a hit that was far enough,” Bochy said. “We had a nice lead, and he’s so fun to watch. He really is. I’ve said this. I’m a fan when he’s pitching.”
Rangers catcher Jonah Heim said deGrom was throwing all four pitches for strikes, and all he had to do was call the pitches.
