ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) Expectations for Yu Darvish were every bit as big as the contract he signed to move from his native Japan.

He continues to meet and perhaps even exceed them.

Darvish pitched 7 2-3 strong innings and Adrian Beltre had a two-run homer to help the Texas Rangers beat the Oakland Athletics 4-1 on Wednesday night.
