ARLINGTON -- Ross Detwiler's start to the season isn't going exactly how he drew it up.
After taking the defeat in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Royals, Detwiler is 0-5. In his latest outing, the Rangers' lefty got out of multiple jams to limit the damage, but his 108 pitches over five innings were a career high.
Detwiler finished allowing nine hits and three earned runs. He also struck out three and walked one.
"Couldn't get the outs when he needed to in certain situations," Rangers manager Jeff Banister said. "I still believe he still has good stuff.
