Darvish masterful as Rangers show off power

The home runs came off of Angels starter Ricky Nolasco, the Angels' Opening Day starter who allowed five runs in five innings. Angels starters are now 1-4 with a 6.00 ERA after 10 games.

Rangers starter Yu Darvish was outstanding for seven innings in getting his first win of the season. He allowed five hits, walked just two and struck out 10. Darvish had struck out just nine in 12 1/3 innings over his first two starts.

The Rangers were one out away from a shutout, but Danny Espinosa hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth off of reliever Mike Hauschild.
