Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish allowed two earned runs on three hits and one walk in three innings and gave up one home run in his team's 7-4 loss to the Angels Tuesday.
"I think it was good overall because I was able to try a few things," Darvish told MLB.com through a translator. "In the home run situation, [catcher Robinson] Chirinos wanted a fastball, and I also wanted a fastball. I threw a four-seam fastball just to see if I could get a pop-up. But it was a huge pop-up."
Darvish struck out four in two scoreless innings in his spring debut but didn't manage a single strikeout in three frames Tuesday.
