Jacob deGrom returned to Citi Field for the Rangers with nerves mostly tamed by a six-run first inning and seven innings on 88 pitches. Texas backed him with a red-hot offense that has won 15 of 19 and moved within two games of both the AL West lead and a wild-card berth. Bochy praised the poised performance and the club’s energy, while deGrom pressed toward October with an ERA-title chase in reach.
