ARLINGTON, Texas -- Yu Darvish let out a good yell and pumped both fists before catcher Chris Gimenez greeted him in front of the mound. The Texas ace wasnt necessarily celebrating his first complete game in the major leagues. His battery mate says he does that all the time. "He just kind of looked at me and goes, Yeah! Thats what I said back to him," Gimenez said. "He likes going Yes! all the time. We kind of goof around with each other about it." This was their best reason yet to have a little fun. Darvish struck out 10 in his six-hitter, Shin-Soo Choo broke a long hitless streak with a three-run double and the Rangers denied Miamis bid for a record interleague winning streak, beating the Marlins 6-0 Wednesday night. Darvish (7-2) struck out the side in the eighth to end a streak of one baserunner in each of the first seven innings for the Marlins. The Japanese right-hander wrapped up his 73rd career start by getting Garrett Jones to swing at a pitch in the dirt. Gimenez had to finish it off with a throw to first. The closest Darvish had come to a complete game were the two times he lost a no-hitter with two outs in the ninth inning. The first was a perfect game bid against Houston last year. The other was against Boston a month ago, although a scoring change a few days later altered that. "I wasnt really conscious of throwing a complete game," Darvish said through an translator. "I thought I was going to be out of the game after the eighth inning, but when (manager Ron Washington) told me that Im going in the ninth inning as well, I decided to go. And I also wanted to face (Giancarlo) Stanton again." Darvish gave up his final single to Stanton leading off the ninth, but Casey McGehee grounded into Miamis third double play before Jones whiffed. "I dont think we really have anybody like that," Miami manager Mike Redmond said when asked what NL pitchers compared to Darvish, who was facing the Marlins for the first time. The Marlins had to settle for tying the New York Yankees (2003-04) and Tampa Bay (2004) for the longest interleague winning streak at 13 games. It was Miamis first interleague loss since last Aug. 12 at Kansas City. The Rangers (32-34) snapped a four-game losing streak and avoided falling four games under .500 for the first time since 2008. Texas split the two-game set and is now winless in eight straight series at home. Choo was in an 0-for-18 slump when he pulled a line drive past Jones at first with the bases loaded in the third against Jacob Turner (2-4). When Stanton couldnt cut off the ball in right field, Elvis Andrus scored easily from first for a 3-0 lead. Choo had a single in the fifth that again brought home Andrus, who had three hits. "I needed just one hit, one good hard it," Choo said. "I tell myself every pitch, start over, start over, start over." Darvish, who won his fourth straight start for the first time in Texas, blew a 4-0 lead in his last start against Cleveland but still got the win in a 6-4 Texas victory. There were no such threats this time, and Darvish has allowed one earned run in 37 2-3 innings over his past five interleague starts. Marcell Ozuna helped Darvish by getting thrown out at second base by left fielder Michael Choice after a leadoff single in the seventh. Justin Bour followed with a walk, but Darvish started a double play on J.T. Realmuto to end the inning. Jones had one of the singles on a 59 mph curveball before Darvish struck out Ozuna looking on a knee-buckling slider. Darvish, who threw 116 pitches, got Stanton swinging on another slider in the sixth. Turner finished the fourth inning after getting hit on the right side by a line drive from Rougned Odour, but the right-hander didnt come out for the fifth. He gave up six hits and five earned runs. NOTES: This was the first meeting between the Marlins and Rangers since July 2011. They play two more in Miami on Aug. 19-20. ... The Rangers agreed to terms with top draft pick Luis Ortiz, a high school pitcher from California. The deal for the right-hander includes a $1.75 million signing bonus. He will report to the Arizona League after graduating from high school Saturday. Christian Arroyo Jersey .

Golden State shot 46.6 percent, scored 36 points on 25 Minnesota turnovers and posted a 30-19 scoring advantage in the third quarter. Lot of good stuff offensively. But I told our guys, if we want to win in May and June, we have to play every possession. You cant just completely lose focus, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. Kerrs squad has won nine in a row at home and is 11-1 at Oracle Arena. The only loss at home occurred on Nov. 11 versus San Antonio. Golden State is 8-0 against Eastern Conference foes and won 10 in a row as the host back in 1994. It is 16-0 when scoring 100 or more points and averaging 107.4 ppg this season.

Only Portland has more wins with a 25-7 mark (.781). Opponents are shooting a league-low 42.2 percent against Golden State. Meanwhile, Philadelphia is shooting an NBA-worst 41.2 percent aand averaging a league-low 90.dddddddddddd8 ppg. The Sixers are allowing 102.6 ppg and turning the ball over 17.9 times, which is also last in the NBA. The 76ers are 2-2 on a seven-game road trip and lost for the seventh time in the last nine tries with Saturdays 88-71 setback to the Utah Jazz. Tony Wroten scored a game-high 20 points and Robert Covington chipped in 17 for the Sixers, who shot 32.4 percent and made just 5-of-26 3-pointers. Philly trailed 69-66 with 6:02 remaining, but was outscored 19-5 the rest of the way. Michael Carter-Williams was held to eight points on 2-of-20 shooting and handed out six assists I credit some of their defense, but we just have a hard time scoring, said Sixers coach Brett Brown. Philadelphia is 4-11 on the road and still has stops to make in Phoenix and Los Angeles (Clippers). The Sixers were 9-32 on the road in 2013-14. The 76ers have failed to score 100 points in each of the last six games. They are 1-5 when hitting the century mark in scoring. In injury news, forward Luc Mbah a Moute (calf) is doubtful Tuesday and forward Nerlens Noel (ankle) is listed as questionable against the Warriors. Golden State and Philadelphia will play the first of two meetings this season and are scheduled to tip off again Feb. 9 in south Philly. The Warriors took both matchups with the Sixers a season ago recorded a 123-80 beating on Feb. 10 at Oracle Arena, where former Sixer Speights had 32 points. The Sixers are just 3-10 in the last 13 visits to Golden State. ' ' '
