WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- It was only the second start of Spring Training for Jacob deGrom, but nothing about his outing vs. the Orioles on Friday would lead one to believe it.
deGrom, facing a lineup full of Baltimore regulars, twirled a five-inning gem, allowing just a single to Austin Hays. The right-hander fanned eight and did not walk a batter in the 4-4 tie; Hays was the lone Oriole to avoid a strikeout against him.
"I felt good today," deGrom said.
