deGrom Gives Up 8 as Rangers’ Comeback Falls Short

Jacob deGrom gave up eight earned runs in 3 2/3 innings as Texas fell 11-7 to the White Sox despite a seven-run night from an offense that refused to fold. deGrom walked five, needed 42 pitches to get through the first and threw 21 sliders without a whiff or chase, raising a bigger question about the floor of his 2026 season. Jake Burger, Danny Jansen and Justin Foscue all homered as Texas eventually cut the deficit to 10-7. 

Austin digs into deGrom’s reliability, what the comeback actually says about the offense, the absurdity of scoring 18 runs in two games and going 1-1, and what Wednesday’s series finale means in the AL West race.
