Yu Darvish pitched a solid ballgame in Friday's loss to the Orioles in the AL Wild Card game, surrendering three runs (two earned) on five hits over 6 2/3 innings. Darvish racked up seven strikeouts on the night without walking a batter. The O's scored an unearned run in the first when Nate McLouth reached on an error, stole second and scored on a single from J.J. Hardy. They took the lead in the sixth on a sacrifice fly from Adam Jones. Darvish handed the ball over to Derek Holland with a man on and two outs in the seventh, and he came around to score on an RBI single from Nate McLouth. Even in defeat, Darvish finished his first MLB season strong and will enter the 2013 campaign at the top of the Rangers rotation.
