ARLINGTON (AP) — Dee Gordon homered on the first pitch of the game, and the Miami Marlins kept piling on against Yu Darvish and the Texas Rangers.
Christian Yelich also hit a solo homer in the first for the Marlins, and Marcell Ozuna’s three-run triple in the fourth made it 9-1 to chase Darvish (6-9), whose miserable outing came in his last start before Monday’s non-waiver trade deadline.
Beltre went deep to start the Texas fourth against Jose Urena (9-4), who allowed five runs with five strikeouts and four walks while pitching into the sixth.
Realmuto greeted reliever Jeremy Jeffress with a two-run homer that scored Ozuna, the last batter faced by Darvish, whose five consecutive losses over his last eight starts mark the longest losing streak in his career.
Rangers: C Robinson Chirinos, out since spraining his left ankle in a collision at the plate Sunday, said he felt good after he did some catching drills and ran some before the game.
