WATCH: Yu Darvish Hits Second Home Run By Texas Rangers Pitcher In Win Over Reds

Texas Rangers ace Yu Darvish didn't look like his usual self on the mound Wednesday night, but the competitor in him still found a way to make a difference in the game--by hitting his first career home run and only the second by a Rangers pitcher (according to ESPN).

His was one of three home runs by the Rangers and gave the team a 4-2 lead in the fifth:

The Reds would tie the game up at 5-5 in the sixth, but an Adrian Beltre double in the 8th gave the Rangers a 6-5 win:
