Darvish finally achieves something that some of his teammates thought he had already accomplished:

Shin-Soo Choo thought it had been done before. So did catcher Chris Gimenez.

Both were surprised to learn that Yu Darvish had never thrown a complete game. He had flirted with perfect games and no-hitters, but had never gone the distance.

Until Wednesday night.

Darvish had another gem in his young career, delivering a complete-game shutout for the first time in a 6-0 victory over the Marlins.

"First time? I didn’t know that,” Choo said.

"I figured he had 15 or so,” Gimenez said.

In related news, Tanner Scheppers, who came off the DL I think it was last week, has returned to the DL for probably the rest of the season.  Rangers management has been somewhat curt and angry when answering questions about Scheppers, so I suspect that his elbow wasn't actually healed in any way when he came off the DL and he didn't tell anyone.

Also, in the second game after coming off the DL for a broken little finger, Jim Adduci broke it again sliding into a base.  He's having pins put in it now, and will probably miss the rest of the season.

The Rangers trainer has been added to the All-Star team.  Probably as a National League selection.
