Texas Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom struck out four in 3⅔ scoreless innings Friday night in his return from Tommy John surgery.

"I told [a teammate] I'm like a baby deer out here: 'I don't know what I'm doing,'" deGrom said after a 5-4 loss to the Seattle Mariners. "I almost fell over. I had quite a bit of nerves, so getting back out there was big. My legs were shaking a little bit."
