Jacob deGrom struck out 10 over six scoreless innings, reached 2,000 career strikeouts and helped Texas finish a combined one-hitter in a 2-0 series-clinching win over Washington. Corey Seager homered and doubled, Ezequiel Duran scored the insurance run, and Jacob Latz locked down save No. 25.

Austin gets into deGrom’s Hall of Fame case, the bullpen’s growing trust level, how Josh Jung’s return should reshape the lineup, Seager’s recent heat-up, Evan Carter’s offense-defense tradeoff, and the September call-up cases for Alejandro Osuna, Logan O’Hoppe and Sebastian Walcott.
