Texas starter Jacob deGrom tossed 11 strikeouts and the host Rangers shut down the Oakland Athletics in a 5-2 victory on Sunday in Arlington, Texas.
In his first appearance since leaving an April 17 game due to wrist soreness, deGrom went six innings and allowed two runs on just three hits and no walks. His 11 strikeouts tied his season high. It marked deGrom's 60th career game with 10+ strikeouts.
Leody Taveras paced the Rangers at the plate, as the team's lone batter with multiple hits. The center fielder went 3-for-4, scoring three times. Robbie Grossman homered and contributed four RBIs in the win. In the bottom of the first, Texas loaded the bases with one out. But Muller came up with consecutive strikeouts to eliminate the scoring threat.
With Grossman back at the plate in the fourth, the Rangers seized a chance to add to the lead. Grossman lofted a sacrifice fly out deep to center field, scoring Taveras, who tagged from third on the play.
