Overview
- DeGrom earned his 100th career victory in the Texas Rangers’ 2-1 road win over the St. Louis Cardinals, leaving after five scoreless innings in a game that the bullpen preserved.
- He struck out eight, allowed four hits and one walk while throwing 91 pitches in the outing that reporters and team accounts highlighted as sharp and efficient.
- Through 12 starts in 2026, deGrom is 4-4 with a 3.48 ERA and has 78 strikeouts in 64 2/3 innings, numbers that show strong strikeout work but a higher ERA than his 2025 rebound season.
- After making just nine combined starts in his first two seasons with Texas, deGrom has made 42 starts over the last two campaigns, a return to heavier usage that underlies the milestone.
- The milestone, reached on Monday, renewed discussion about his Hall of Fame prospects because voters prize cumulative totals and durability and experts say additional wins and innings would strengthen his case.
