Texas starter Yu Darvish wasn't at his best Tuesday night but still managed a quality start and a win in Anaheim.
Darvish improved to 11-5 on the season as he went seven innings and allowed three runs on eight hits and three walks. He threw 113 pitches and allowed two homers. He struck out six and his ERA is now at 2.72.
Darvish had been phenomenal in his previous two outings with 25 strikeouts over 13 innings. He's up to 192 Ks over 145 2/3 innings on the season. Darvish will next take the mound for the Rangers to close out a four-game series in Houston Monday. The Astros have more strikeouts as a team than any other club in the majors and Darvish needs eight to become the first major league pitcher this season with 200.
