Yu Darvish a winner with great run support

Yu Darvish finally got something he hadn't received much of lately - some run support from his teammates. The Rangers jumped out to a 4-0 first inning lead, and Darvish allowed just two earned runs over 6.2 innings in the Rangers 8-5 win over the Tigers on Friday.

Fantasy Impact:

Darvish walked one and struck out five in evening his record on the season at 3-3. The Rangers had been just 3-5 in games started by Darvish this year, but it wasn't the right-handers fault as he received little or no run support in several of those outings. Tonight, it was his new battery mate, Jonathan Lucroy doing the majority of the damage with a pair of home runs and five RBI.
