Rangers’ deGrom, Latz Nearly No-Hit Orioles

Texas Rangers pitchers Jacob deGrom and Jacob Latz both delivered near no-hitter performances in back-to-back games against the Baltimore Orioles, underscoring the team's pitching depth during a difficult season. deGrom carried a perfect game into the seventh inning, allowing only one hit with seven strikeouts. Latz, making his third career start, held the Orioles hitless through six innings before surrendering a single in the seventh, and has maintained a 3.22 ERA this season. Manager Bruce Bochy and analysts have praised both pitchers, noting Latz's improvement and potential for more starting opportunities. Despite likely moving back to the bullpen with veteran Nathan Eovaldi's return, Latz's performance has strengthened the Rangers' rotation options. These strong outings arrive as the Rangers work to improve their position in the AL West.
