Wednesday morning Rangers stuff

A late morning links post, as my body continues to try to adjust to Daylight Savings Time...

It was a disappointing game for the Rangers yesterday, not just because they blew a big lead and ended the game in a tie, but because Yu Darvish struggled with his command throughout his 3 inning stint, which included 4 walks.

And of course, Craig Gentry, already off to a slow start this spring, left the game with a sprained left wrist, although he's said to be day-to-day at this point, rather than expected to miss significant time.

Evan Grant has a game report at the DMN blog.
