KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jacob deGrom exited with a sore right wrist after pitching four innings, and two Texas Rangers relievers completed a one-hitter Monday night in a 4-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals.
Josh Jung launched a three-run homer in the first and Marcus Semien added a solo shot in the third. Dane Dunning (1-0) struck out five in 4 1/3 innings of relief.
Matt Duffy’s one-out single in the fifth off Dunning was Kansas City’s only hit. José Leclerc got two outs to end it.
The Rangers said deGrom was removed as a precaution. He struck out five and walked one, throwing 39 of his 58 pitches for strikes.
Kansas City (4-13) dropped to 1-10 at home this season. Jordan Lyles (0-3) gave up four runs — two earned — and three hits in eight innings.
