In the first encounter, this season against the Mariners, he gave up just one run on four hits over six innings, picking a no-decision in a 13-inning, 3-1 loss in Seattle on May 5.
But that hope of victory lasted about as long as an ice cube in the heat of Globe Life Stadium.
Mike Napoli hit two home runs, connecting along with Rougned Odor and Shin-Soo Choo in the sixth inning to power the Texas Rangers past the Seattle Mariners 10-4. The Beavers (55-4) extended their winning streak to 22 games and will play Monday against LSU, which beat Florida State Saturday night.
The outing annoyed Darvish, who starts the finale against the Mariners on Sunday.
DIAMONDBACKS 5, PHILLIES 4: Gregor Blanco hit a tying two-run homer and Jake Lamb drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning to rally Arizona at Philadelphia. Napoli and Choo later tagged the reliever for two-run drives. But he threw three consecutive balls trying to put him away. The one to (Nomar) Mazara, a fastball up and in, he puts it down the third-base line for a base hit. Gallardo's afternoon was a disaster from the word go. But the pitch was up. "He had a really good changeup today, and he kept coming after me with it. If it's lower in the zone, it's a ground ball". "He couldn't finish the inning". He lamented how big innings have hurt him all season.
It has particularly of late. LHP Cole Hamels (oblique strain) made his first rehab start with Double-A Frisco allowing one hit and striking out three in three innings.
"It's frustrating", Gallardo said.
"It's always the one inning", Gallardo said.
"Once the guys started swinging, I was just happy to be out there with the lead and continue to get outs and progress through the game", Ross said.
Daniel Norris (4-4) got the win, giving up three runs on eight hits and a walk in six-plus innings. And the Mariners fought back to momentarily to make it a game.
Fed's lone dissenter Kashkari says weak inflation a concern
But he said he would want to see more evidence that inflation will rise towards the Fed's 2-percent inflation goal before increasing rates again.
Guillermo Heredia went 2-for-4 with a run scored for Seattle and Mitch Haniger also had two hits. Gamel stole second, advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on Robinson Cano's ground ball to first base.
The Mariners finally broke through in the sixth.
Cruz led off the sixth with a walk and after Kyle Seager flied out, Danny Valencia singled to left. Major League Baseball statcast measured it at 463 feet. Altavilla has given up seven homers in 25 innings this season.
"I'm not trying to pull the ball", he said. I tried to throw a cutter up and in, and it stayed out over the middle of the plate.
Down by one, Servais had his bullpen mapped out. He allowed just one hit after the first inning.
In the bottom half, Dan Altavilla gave it all back - and then some - starting with a no-doubt shot to right by Odor.
Ross walked the first batter he faced and allowed a run on an RBI groundout in the first, but settled down and didn't allow a hit until Mike Zunino's bloop single in the fifth.
Later in the inning, after a one-out error by Motter on a ground ball that allowed Joey Gallo to reach, Altavilla left a 98 miles per hour fastball up to Shin Soo-Choo that was blasted over the fence in center. "When we came out of spring training that's what we envisioned".
Against the Rangers that's the worst thing possible.
