Texas Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom became the fastest pitcher in major league history to reach 1,800 career strikeouts by games and innings on Sunday.In the second inning against Seattle, deGrom got Mariners shortstop J.

One of the main reasons for the success of the Rangers so far this season has been that their ace, Jacob deGrom, has been healthy and pitching well. Injuries have certainly derailed the career of the former National League Cy Young,

Rodriguez has gone 20-20 in each of his first four seasons. That's a first in MLB history, per Mariners PR. He reached the club of one by hitting his 20th homer of the season, taking Jacob deGrom deep on Sunday. Naturally, Rodriguez also swiped a bag against the Rangers, his 21st theft of the season.

For instance, former two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom is supposed to outpitch Luis Castillo, and the Rangers are supposed to outscore the Mariners and win Saturday. Not a very deGrom-like performance for Big Jake in his last start.
