As there has been some injury concern with Texas Rangers pitcher Jacob deGrom<\/a> this season to start, he would make a start against the Seattle Mariners and pitch well in the 2-1 win on Monday. While deGrom missed his first start with the Rangers<\/a>, there could have been a danger to miss Monday’s start, as he gives insight into what he was dealing with.<\/p>\n

Before the game against the Mariners, manager Skip Schumaker would say that deGrom \u201cfelt a little something\u201d<\/a> when it comes to his right knee. While it wasn’t serious enough for him to miss the start and didn’t impact him during the game, there was still a consensus that Texas didn’t want to push it, as deGrom pitched five innings.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were contemplating the sixth [inning],\u201d deGrom said, according to MLB.com. \u201cI said I can do it. We decided to just make sure it’s fine \u2026 It’s a little tender, but I think we’ll be OK.\u201d<\/p>\n

How Rangers’ Jacob deGrom pitched in the win over the Mariners<\/p>\n

In the five innings he pitched, deGrom struck out six batters, only allowing one earned run, which was a home run off catcher Cal Raleigh. Other than that, deGrom was on the money, but Seattle put up a \u201cbattle\u201d as the veteran pitcher said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a battle tonight,\u201d deGrom said. \u201cLogan [Gilbert] threw the ball great. I gave up the homer to Cal, and I was like, \u2018All right, we better lock this in. This might be a close game.\u2019 Obviously, any day you’re able to put this uniform on \u2014 I said this before \u2014 you gotta be thankful. I’ve missed plenty of time in my career. I was thankful to make 30 starts last year. The goal is to do it again this year and in the next couple of years.\u201d<\/p>\n

At any rate, the Rangers are 5-5 to start the season, as the win over Seattle on Monday to start the three-game series, which continues on Tuesday night, was much-needed after getting swept by the Cincinnati Reds.<\/p>\n
