Rangers starter Yu Darvish was losing for most of his outing Saturday in Toronto. With Mark Buehrle pitching well, the three runs Darvish allowed had him on the hook for a defeat.
Darvish was saved by Texas tying it up in the top of the ninth inning off closer Casey Janssen. He took the no-decision as he allowed three runs -- two earned -- on five hits and three walks over seven innings. He struck out seven and threw 111 pitches. His ERA is 2.75.
Darvish (7-1) certainly hasn't been at his best of late, as he hasn't earned a win since May 16 against Detroit. That said, he took a no-decision in his last start before Saturday despite going seven shutout innings. He's still pitching well and he still leads the American League in strikeouts with 118 over 88 1/3 innings.
Darvish makes his next scheduled start Thursday at home against Toronto.
