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...

Even against the AL West rival Los Angeles Angels and 20-game winner Jered Weaver. Lance Berkman and David Murphy homered in the first off Weaver, putting the Rangers ahead to stay on the way to a 7-3 victory Sunday night afte...

When the Rangers play their home opener Friday, the five-time All-Star slugger and former AL MVP will be in the other dugout with the AL West rival Los Angeles Angels.

Darvish was one out from a perfect game when Marwin Gonzalez grounded a clean single through the pitcher's legs, and Texas beat the Houston Astros 7-0 on Tuesday night.
