Geovany Soto delivered a three-run homer to cap a pivotal seven-run third inning for the Texas Rangers, which also ended Justin Verlander's night on the mound as the Rangers went on to defeat the Detroit Tigers 10-4 Thursday night. Yu Darvish pitched effectively for Texas, lasting eight innings in a contest where the anticipated pitching showdown failed to materialize as expected.
