Coming into last night’s game, Yu Darvish had started against the Tigers six times. He was 6-0. No loses. Not even a no-decision. Even more impressive, but not his doing, is the fact that the Rangers averaged seven runs a game in his starts. So, it was pretty much […]

The Rangers swept the Cardinals for their sixth win in a row, and moved to twenty games over .500. It was a great game, the second in a row in which they won by one run, and in which they came off the mat late to win. ***** HAPPY FUN […]
