The Toronto Blue Jays are the first team ever to accomplish this feat against Texas Rangers star Jacob deGrom in his career.

The Jacob deGrom the Yankees see on Wednesday will not be the same Jacob deGrom who dominated to virtually unparalleled levels across town.

Even as a kid playing catch with his dad, Jacob deGrom always tried to hit his spots. He did the same throughout his rehab process following a second Tommy John surgery, which he underwent just six starts into his Rangers career in 2023.

The Texas Rangers lost against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday as Jacob deGrom failed to record a single strikeout for the first time in his career.

Judge and deGrom met in the first inning, when a pitcher who has tried throwing with less velocity and with more of a varied selection — in an attempt to stay healthy — looked an awful lot like deGrom in his prime: He ignored those secondary pitches and only went with heaters and sliders, though he lost Judge on a six-pitch walk.
