-Imagn Images The Texas Rangers scored eight runs while the Baltimore Orioles scored five runs. Jacob deGrom’s few days delay to his 2026 season was going well despite his former New York Mets teammate Pete Alonso seemingly having his number. For his first four innings, deGrom looked like his vintage self aside from a couple of hits from the Polar Bear, including a solo home run.

Staked to a 3-1 lead in the middle innings, deGrom ran into unexpected issues with two outs in the bottom of the fifth. With the ability to qualify for a victory appearing an afterthought, the O’s rallied and knocked out Texas’ co-ace. Baltimore’s No.

9 hitter reached via a single, and an infield single one batter later brought up Baltimore’s most dangerous hitter. Gunnar Henderson delivered a two-run double on a ball that left fielder Wyatt Langford seemed to misplay and that ended deGrom’s night with the game tied 3-3. All in all, deGrom finished his evening going 4 2/3 innings allowing six hits, three runs, while striking out seven and walking none.
