Looks Inside the League
Play of the Day:
- 8/5: Dylan Cease Surrendered One or Less Total Runs in 13 Consecutive Starts
- 8/6: Nick Pratto Walks Off Red Sox
- 8/7: deGrom Sets Record for Most Ks in First 200 Games 🔋
Thirteen months since he last stepped on the mound at Citi Field and deGrom reminded everyone why he deserves to stand there. After leaving the game with 3 months left in the 2021 season due to right shoulder and arm injuries, deGrom is back at full force. He retired 17 batters in the first 5 innings, 12 struck out. In his first 200 career games, deGrom has racked up 1523 total strikeouts.
- 8/8: Josh Donaldson Went 4-5 with 3 RBI and a HR
- 8/9: Juan Soto Hits 22nd HR of Season
- 8/10: Vaughn Grissom First Career Hit, First Career HR 🤧
First pitch, first hit, first home run…and it's sent over the Big Green Monster, out of the park. That was probably an indescribable feeling for 21-year-old Grissom who was called up from Double-A just that morning. This season while in Double-A, Grissom was batting .324 with 14 home runs, 67 RBI, and 27 stolen bases. He is definitely finding his place in the reigning champs dugout.
