Rangers’ right-hander Yu Darvish was in downplay mode Saturday as he talked to reporters about his Opening Day start against the Cleveland Indians Monday evening at Globe Life Park. He’ll face Indians’ right-handed ace Corey Kluber, who attended Coppell High School.
Although it’s Darvish’s first time with the honor for the Rangers, he did it five times in Japan.
“I’ll take it like just any other game,” Darvish said through his interpreter. “I’m not trying to imagine how I’ll feel on the mound. I don’t expect anything different. I like to go game by game. I do my job one game at a time, that’s what I try to do.
