Overview

  • Jacob deGrom pitched seven strong innings, allowing two runs on three hits with nine strikeouts, but did not factor into the decision.
  • This start marked deGrom's first appearance at Yankee Stadium since 2018 and his first in New York since joining the Texas Rangers in 2022.
  • The Yankees tied the game in the eighth inning on an Aaron Judge RBI single and won in the ninth with Jasson Domínguez's walk-off home run.
  • DeGrom, who is now 4-1 with a 2.29 ERA in 2025, has adjusted his pitching approach to prioritize longevity by utilizing more off-speed pitches and reducing velocity.
  • The Rangers remain focused on managing deGrom's workload as they aim to maximize his contributions following his second Tommy John surgery in 2023.
