Darvish wins 1st start since 2014 as Rangers top Pirates 5-2

Read More...ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Yu Darvish struck out seven in five strong innings in his first start in the majors in almost 22 months, and the Texas Rangers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-2 on Saturday night. The Japanese right-hander allowed three singles with a walk in his return from last year’s Tommy John surgery, ending Pittsburgh’s five-game winning streak. Adrian Beltre had a two-run homer in the first inning off Juan Nicasio (3-3) to become the fourth third baseman with at least 1,500 RBIs, finishing with 1,501. Mitch Moreland snapped a 1-for-27 skid with a solo home run in the fourth. Four Texas relievers allowed four hits and a run with four strikeouts in four innings. The “Yuuu” calls from a sellout crowd started early for Darvish, who last pitched in the big leagues on Aug.
