DeGrom Shines in NY Return, Yankees Walk Off

Jacob deGrom made his first pitching appearance in New York since leaving the Mets, starting for the Texas Rangers against the Yankees. Despite a slight dip in fastball velocity after his second Tommy John surgery, deGrom showed strong command and relied more on his slider and off-speed pitches. In Wednesday's game, he allowed two earned runs over seven innings. The Yankees won 4-3 on a walk-off home run by Jasson Domínguez in the ninth inning. DeGrom's performance highlighted his resilience and adaptation after major injuries, earning praise from teammates and coaches. His return underscores his determination to overcome adversity and contribute consistently for Texas.
