Yu Darvish SP TEX 5 Days

Yu Darvish wasn't involved in the decision after allowing one run in seven innings and striking out nine Blue Jays on Thursday.

Darvish was certainly more dominant than Esmil Rogers tonight, but it did him no good. It was a 1-1 game when he left, and the Jays immediately took a 3-1 lead afterwards. It's the fourth straight start in which Darvish has received a no-decision. He hasn't won since May 16.

Yu Darvish allowed three runs -- two earned -- over seven innings in a no-decision against the Blue Jays on Saturday.

He fanned seven and walked three. The big blow was a two-run triple in the third inning by Colby Rasmus, who came around to score after an errant relay throw by Jurickson Profar. While Darvish is winless since May 16, he still owns a fine 2.75 ERA on the year and leads the majors with 118 strikeouts in 88 1/3 innings. Another meeting against the Blue Jays is on tap for next week, this time at home.

Yu Darvish threw 130 pitches while allowing four runs over eight innings Thursday in a win over the Tigers.

With a 10-4 lead, we're not sure why the Rangers didn't pull Darvish after seven. Still, it's not like the right-hander is a stranger to 130-pitch starts, even if it's his first since he jumped to MLB. Also, Darvish was lights out after a rough start tonight, retiring 15 of the last 16 (and the final 10) batters he faced. He's 7-1 with a 2.97 ERA.
