ARLINGTON -- Rangers right-hander Yu Darvish is getting an extra day of rest, and that may have saved a pit bull named Sage from the dog pound.
Darvish was up later than usual on Thursday night because he is not pitching until Saturday. He saw on Twitter that Sage was headed to the dog pound if somebody did not adopt her.
"I already have five dogs," Darvish said. "The thing about that dog was nobody was picking her up. That's the thing that was stuck in my head."
Danny Balis, a producer for radio station 1310 The Ticket, sent out the initial tweet.
