ARLINGTON, Texas — Rangers ace Jacob deGrom unexpectedly exited his start against the New York Yankees after giving up his first hit with two outs in the fourth inning of Friday night's 5-2 win.
Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said afterward deGrom was experiencing forearm tightness and will be re-evaluated on Saturday. «It's just a precaution,» Bochy said. «A couple starts ago he felt (it) a little bit.
So that's what we decided to do, to be a little cautious here.» DeGrom retired his first 10 batters and had a 5-0 lead when he walked Anthony Rizzo.
Ahead of Willie Calhoun 0-2 in the count with two outs, deGrom threw a 96.6 mph fastball that sailed outside for ball, and the pitcher reached for his left side.
