Rangers, Citi Field and Jacob deGrom
Digest more
Jacob deGrom’s first start against the Mets at Citi Field was unlike anything he experienced during his nine seasons in Flushing. His team provided him with six runs of support in the first inning alone.
Grom missed the chance to return to Citi Field in 2023 after elbow surgery and didn’t even make the trip so he could “just stay out of the way.”
“Crazy? Probably,” manager Carlos Mendoza said before Jonah Tong opened against former Mets ace Jacob deGrom. The first inning of the first night of the gambit couldn’t have gone worse than it did.
Jacob deGrom hasn't appeared on the Citi Field mound since Oct. 8, 2022, when he helped extend the New York Mets' season by winning Game 2 of a National League wild-card series.
