Yu Darvish Ks career-high 11, but bright sun contributes to costly Rangers loss
CLEVELAND (AP) — A glaring problem cost Yu Darvish and the Texas Rangers.
Ubaldo Jimenez pitched seven scoreless innings and Asdrubal Cabrera hit a two-run double after the Rangers lost an infield popup in the sun as the Cleveland Indians handed Darvish his first major league loss, 4-2 Sunday.
Jason Kipnis homered off Darvish (4-1), who struck out a career-high 11 over six innings. Jimenez (3-2) walked four in the first three innings but settled down and permitted only two hits.
Johnny Damon's pop fell for a leadoff single in the third, leading to a three-run inning.
"If the ball goes into the sun, what can you do?" Darvish said through an interpreter.
"If this was the first loss ever in my life I would feel different," he said. "But I have experienced many losses. So now, I just prepare for my next game."
