Hes stingy. Didnt miss over the plate to me much.Bundy (4-3) outpitched Darvish (2-3), who allowed three homers for only the second time in 90 major league appearances.

He had to pitch almost flawless with what Bundy was doing.Lucroy liked what he saw from Darvish from behind the plate.Yeah, we got on the same page after the first inning, said Lucroy, who was dealt by Milwaukee. He gave us a chance to win. Their guy was a little better.The loss snapped the AL West-leading Rangers four-game winning streak. Playing with Texas for the first time since being obtained Monday in separate trades, Beltran went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts and Lucroy was hitless with a walk but scored the Rangers lone run.Bundy retired the first 10 batters before Desmond walked and was thrown out trying to steal as Beltran struck out. Elvis Andrus ended the rookies no-hit bid with a clean line drive up the middle with two outs in the sixth.Bundy capped his outing with a 1-2-3 seventh, the farthest hes gone in the majors. Facing the team with the ALs best record, the right-hander struck out seven and didnt allow a runner past first base.The seventh was his last inning, regardless, manager Buck Showalter said.
