To end the second inning of the game, deGrom struck out Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford. This was the 1,800th strikeout of his career, and according to the MLB's official X account, he is the fastest pitcher to reach this milestone in games and innings.

Rangers general manager Ross Fenstermaker joined “The Invasion” on 96.7 FM/1310 The Ticket [KTCK-AM] Tuesday morning.

He's a long way removed from his two Cy Young awards, but don't tell him. He keeps throwing fastballs at 99, sliders at 93 and striking batters out at the rate he did as a much younger pitcher, and baseball is better for it.
