That wasn’t the way things were supposed to go. Did Yu Darvish really get owned by the Seattle Mariners…again?
Unfortunately, the match-up we hyped up yesterday between Darvish and Mariners’ ace Felix Hernandez really never got started. Darvish lasted all of four innings, giving up four earned runs and walking six before getting yanked in favor of Mark Lowe, recently called up reliever Yoshinori Tateyama and Mike Adams.
The only real bright spots in the game for Texas were two defensive plays from first baseman, Mitch Moreland, and short stop Elvis Andrus who made a terrific off balance throw to catcher Mike Napoli, who scooped it like a first baseman, for the force out at home plate.
Not the way any of the Rangers’ fans wanted to see the game go on Monday night but the team still has two more games to go to be able to take home another series victory.
