Texas' Yu Darvish was on the mark his last two starts after the Rangers juggled the rotation to get him some extended rest. The competition was weak (Houston and San Diego) but Darvish showed much better command (5 walks, 19 strikeouts and 67% strikes). FanGraphs pointed out last week that though a small sample, teams seemed much more in tune with Darivsh's offerings a second time around. There is a possibility as many as five of his next opponents will have already seen him (Detroit, Oakland, Minnesota, Seattle and LA Angels). In second looks against Seattle, Toronto, Los Angeles and Oakland, Darvish's combined numbers were: 20.1 IP, 24 hits, 18 walks, 19 strikeouts, and a 6.53 ERA.
