ROUND ROCK - He was sharp Thursday night.
Pitched pretty well, too.
Feel free to parse up any stat from Yu Darvish’s third rehab start - likely the mid-point of a five-start assignment - but the most telling moment from Thursday was how he reacted afterward. With a little bit of good-natured sarcasm. It was a good night.
In four innings, Darvish was: Too leisurely with his delivery to start the game, leading to consecutive walks; exceptional with a slow curve that gave him three of his four strikeouts; and stingy with hits, allowing just one (a homer).
