Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish was smashed for six earned runs Wednesday against the Astros.
Darvish proved to be fairly hittable during the outing, allowing 10 hitters to reach base. He did not issue any walks, and struck out eight batters. Of the six innings Darvish tossed, he only had two scoreless innings. Darvish allowed six extra-base hits during the start, including a home run to Robbie Grossman in the fifth. Darvish wound up throwing 109 pitches during the start.
The loss dropped Darvish to 8-5 on the season. It’s unclear when he’ll make his next start with the All-Star Game approaching.
