Rangers starter Yu Darvish, who allowed four runs his last time out, bounced back with a dominant outing but did not factor in the decision Sunday against the Royals. Darvish limited the Royals to three hits and two walks while striking out six in seven scoreless innings of a 3-1 win.

Darvish has allowed five runs combined in his last three starts (20 2/3 innings). He is scheduled to make his next start Saturday at Toronto. He is 3-1 with a 2.55 ERA in five road starts.
