Jacob deGrom is still Jacob deGrom. The Rangers ace punched out 10 over six innings of one-hit, one-walk ball in a 2-0 win over the Nationals, and in the process reached 2,000 career strikeouts in the second-fewest games and innings in major league history. That is not a nostalgia line, that is a pitcher whose bat-missing stuff is completely intact. For DFS, he stays one of the safest high-strikeout anchors on any slate, and a Rangers shutout is a reminder to look at the team side too. (source: ESPN game recap, MLB.com)
