ARLINGTON, Texas — Yu Darvish, the most consistent pitcher for the Texas Rangers this season, is coming off a start that left him frustrated.
Darvish hopes to find some answers Wednesday in the interleague series finale against the New York Mets at Globe Life Park. Texas (27-31) won the Tuesday opener 10-8.
Darvish gave up three runs, all on a three-run homer, on Friday against the Houston Astros. The right-hander lasted only five innings, mainly because he racked up 104 pitches, and took the loss as the Rangers fell 7-1.
“It was one pitch and I gave up a home run, but at the same time, they had the plan going into that game going against me and they executed that plan,” Darvish said through his interpreter.
