DeGrom's Five Shutout Innings Leads Rangers Past Red Sox 3-2

In his first start of the season, Jacob deGrom delivered a strong performance for the Texas Rangers, throwing five shutout innings and allowing only two hits against the Boston Red Sox, although he received a no-decision in the 3-2 victory. DeGrom, who is returning from his second Tommy John surgery, was limited to 73 pitches but managed to strike out six batters, showing flashes of his former Cy Young-winning form. Despite leaving with a 1-0 lead, the Rangers' bullpen allowed Boston to score twice in the sixth inning, briefly taking the lead. However, Wyatt Langford and Adolis García hit back-to-back solo home runs to secure the win for Texas. Manager Bruce Bochy expressed optimism about deGrom's performance and hinted at extending his pitch count in future outings. The victory marked a positive note for the Rangers as they aim for a successful season following last year's disappointments.
