Republic of Ireland international Richard Keogh was reinstated as Derby captain late last season
Richard Keogh's second-half header edged Derby into the EFL Cup second round with victory over Grimsby.
The Mariners, back in League Two after a six-year absence, looked nervy early on and former England striker Darren Bent twice went close for the Rams.
Derby made the breakthrough when captain Keogh stooped at the far post to head home Craig Bryson's cross.
Shaun Pearson saw his header saved for Grimsby and Kayden Jackson's shot was cleared off the line in injury time.
