(SportsNetwork.com) - The Texas Rangers try to put an end to a three-game slide Saturday as they clash with the Toronto Blue Jays in the second of a three-game set at Globe Life Park in Arlington. Drew Hutchison went the distance for the Jays, walking one and fanning six as he picked up his second win of the campaign. "He was tremendous," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said of his starting pitcher. "He went toe to toe with [Darvish], matched him, and ended up getting the win. It was a battle on both sides. Both guys were really good." Now batting .320 on the season, Melky Cabrera knocked in both runs for the visitors and drew a pair of walks, helping to offset the performances of Jose Bautista and Brett Lawrie at the plate as they each struck out three times for a squad that is sitting in third place in the AL East, trailing both Baltimore and the Yankees entering play on Saturday. The shutout was the seventh of the season for the Toronto staff, second-most in the American League behind only Texas which has notched nine in just 42 contests. The first seven-game winner in the majors heads back to the mound this evening as Mark Buehrle takes the ball for the visiting Jays. Outside of an 8-1 loss to Boston late last month, Buehrle has been virtually untouchable with his 2.04 ERA over the course of 53 innings. The left-hander is currently riding a three-game win streak, thanks to a victory against the LA Angels earlier this week. Buehrle lasted a total of six innings, giving up two runs on six hits and an uncharacteristic five walks, but still came out on the right side of the 7-3 decision. Now in his 15th major league campaign, Buehrle has a career mark of 13-5 and a 3.14 ERA in 22 total games versus Texas. Now six games off the pace in the American League West where they are fourth in the division standings, the Rangers were shut out for the second time in the last three outings on Friday night in the series opener, 2-0, marking the clubs fifth loss in six tries. Texas managed a mere three hits last night, one each by Adrian Beltre, Leonys Martin and Rougned Odor, wasting another strong outing by hurler Yu Darvish who allowed just two runs on five hits and struck out 11 over eight innings of work. "Offensively were capable of doing a lot of damage," noted Texas outfielder Alex Rios after the outing. "Were not there yet. Were all still positive and believe we can do damage. But its a little frustrating when were not seeing the real power of our offense." As for the Rangers, theyll hand the ball to Robbie Ross Jr. Also a left- hander, Ross has been saddled with four defeats in his last five outings, the most recent of those coming against Boston at home on Sunday. For the third time in a row Ross was tagged for at least five runs, based on six hits and a couple of walks through 6 2/3 innings. Just three seasons into his major league career, Ross has yet to register a decision versus Toronto, even though this will be his sixth appearance against the club all-time. Toronto, which captured six wins in seven meetings last season versus the Rangers, is tops in the AL in home runs at the moment with 56 through 43 games, while Texas is second from the bottom with just 26.

Cody Hodgson also lit the lamp in the final stanza for the Sabres, who snapped a four-game slide and picked up their first win on a four-game road trip which ends in Toronto on Tuesday. Its a huge win for me and everybody on this team. We worked really hard for this, Neuvirth offered. Brent Burns supplied the lone goal and Alex Stalock stopped just 13 pucks for the Sharks, who stumbled to their fourth straight loss and fifth in six games. Hodgson put the Sabres on the board with 3:43 played in the third, taking a pass from Drew Stafford atop the crease and moving the puck from his forehand to the backhand before sliding it home. Deslauriers then punched home a Cody McCormick rebound at the right post and Buffalo was up by two at 5:57. The hosts broke through a mere 13 seconds later, as Burns prayer from the left-wing boards sailed through traffic and inside the far post. Neuvirth made two more stops on Matt Nieto from opposite ends of the rink roughly five minutes apart to keep it a one-goal margin.dddddddddddd He later fell forward to squelch a blast by Burns from the right circle with 1:38 remaining. Stalock was pulled for an extra skater on the subsequent faceoff, and the Sharks only produced two quality chances for the remainder of regulation. We shouldnt lose a game like that, Sharks forward Logan Couture said. Weve got a lot to figure out right now. I think everyone on our team needs to look in the mirror. Neither goaltender flinched through two scoreless periods, with Neuvirth stopping 14 pucks and Stalock needing to turn away only nine chances. Buffalos goaltender made his finest stop, with the right pad, on a Nieto rush up the left wing with a minute to play in the second.
