After a tough stretch, the Rangers had a loud and clear response Monday night to the message manager Ron Washington delivered the previous day. Cruz homered twice and the...

In his third start after opening the season as a reliever for the Blue Jays, the right-hander was as good as Texas Rangers ace Yu Darvish in a 3-1 victory Thursday night. Both starters allowed only one run over seven innings, and the Blue Jays got the tiebreaki...

A busted pipe under the infield at Rangers Ballpark created a sinkhole right behind the mound. On-field batting practice Tuesday for both the Texas Rangers and Cleveland Indians was canceled so the grounds crew could fix the problem. Wor...

Berkman hit a two-run homer in the seventh inning after an odd double play erased the potential go-ahead run at third base, and the Rangers beat Cleveland 6-3 Monday night to hand the Indians their eighth...

Now everyone can take notice of Straily, who on television before his latest start saw plenty of highlights touting Yu Darvish being on the mound. Straily allowed only two two singles while facing 22 batters — just one o...

Yu Darvish says it's not the first great opposing pitcher he's faced, and won't be his last. True on all counts. These showdowns don't come along every day, though. And this one — the AL's strikeout king against his potential heir — is as enticing as they come. The hard-throwing right-handers from De...
