Yu Darvish looked sharp and Jorge Alfaro homered as the Rangers opened the season with an intrasquad scrimmage Sunday.
Darvish struck out two of the three batters he faced in a 14-pitch first inning, getting Michael Choice and Rougned Odor on punchouts after Antoan Richardson opened the game with a grounder to second.
Alfaro, who went 2 for 2, homered to left off Alec Asher in the fifth inning of the six-inning game. Veterans Ryan Ludwick and Nate Schierholtz each had two-hit games.
Ross Detwiler, Nick Martinez, Nick Tepesch and Anthony Ranaudo â four of the competitors for the No. 5 rotation spot â piched in the game. None of the four allowed a run and Ranaudo had three strikeouts.
