ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Yu Darvishs latest no-hit bid got broken up in a big way when Chris Herrmann hit a tying, two-run homer in the seventh inning and Justin Morneau followed with a home run that sent the Minnesota Twins over the Texas Rangers 3-2 Friday night. Minnesota snapped a five-game losing streak on a night when it looked as if the strikeout-prone Twins had no chance against the major league strikeout leader. Instead, Darvish (12-6) had a third straight start without a win and the right-handers home run total jumped to 22 after the Japanese ace allowed 14 his entire rookie season. This was the third time this year that Darvish took a no-hit try into the seventh. Twins starter Liam Hendriks (1-2) got his second career win by holding Texas to two runs _ one earned _ in six innings.
