No way was Yu Darvish going to get past five innings Saturday night, not after a 30-pitch fourth inning in which he allowed two runs, having been exasperated by a missed call, and returned to the dugout at 85 pitches for the game.
There was really no way he was going to get through the sixth after opening with back-to-back walks to put him at 107 pitches, or after a one-out walk that loaded the bases and put him at 117 pitches.
Well, there was a way. It and some cycling by Carlos Gomez were the way to a Texas Rangers victory.
