video: Yu Darvish allows just 1 ER in 5 2/3 innings in Texas win over Minnesota Twins

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Yu Darvish knows it’s going to take time to adjust to major league hitters.  Yu Darvish worked 5 2/3 innings before Rangers manager Ron Washington removed him from the game. It went into the books as a no-decision for Darvish in his second Texas start.

Nothing like a couple of bases-loaded situations to speed that process along.  Darvish kept wriggling out of trouble in five-plus innings, Josh Hamilton homered among his three hits and the Texas Rangers beat the Minnesota Twins 6-2 on Saturday.

“He was much better,” said Rangers manager Ron Washington when asked to compare Darvish on Saturday to his first outing on April 10. “Still have to work on getting ahead of hitters quicker. But he was much better today with his command.”
