Vipers Win at Chicago, 4-1
Texas and Chicago duked it out and the Vipers came out victorious.

Texas starter Yu Darvish kept the Chicago offense from doing much damage. The right-hander leaned on his fastball in leading the Vipers to a 4-1 win. In 6 innings, Darvish surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 1. He allowed 1 run.

Texas used the hitting of J.T. Realmuto to pick up the win. The catcher clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Vipers on top, 4-1. For the game, Realmuto had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I love playing this game, so you'll never see me not want to go out there and pitch," said Darvish.

The winning streak has now reached 4 games for Texas.
