Rangers ace Yu Darvish was able to rebound from walking six batters his last time out with a solid effort Monday at home against Pittsburgh. Unfortunately, an extreme pitching duel with Gerrit Cole and an injury ruined his night.

Darvish gave up just one earned run on four hits and a walk over seven outstanding innings. He struck out six and was at 81 pitches when he left the game. Darvish left after he felt cramping in his right leg and should be OK for his next start, FOX Sports reports.

Despite the solid effort, he suffered the loss to fall to 12-8. It was his third straight loss for the Rangers, though he pitched extremely well Monday. Darvish will make his next start for manager Ron Washington and the Rangers on Saturday against Oakland in an important American League West matchup as long as he is healthy.
