ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Rangers seemed to have everything lined up perfectly going into the postseason, with their two aces ready to go at home for the start of the AL Division Series.Instead, the AL West champions are headed to Toronto facing the possibility of getting swept in the best-of-five matchup after Cole Hamels and Yu Darvish both struggled.Weve got a good team. We all believe in each other, All-Star center fielder Ian Desmond said. Just keep on fighting.Darvish allowed four homers, three in the same inning , and Texas lost 5-3 on a dreary, misty Friday afternoon in Texas.That came a day after All-Star lefty Hamels, the MVP of the World Series and NLCS for Philadelphia in 2008, allowed seven runs in 3 1/3 innings in his worst-ever postseason start in a series-opening 10-1 romp by the wild-card Blue Jays.But the Rangers also remember what happened last October, when Toronto lost the first two games of the ALDS at home before rallying to win the series.Why cant we do it this year, too? You never know until the last out, shortstop Elvis Andrus said. We still believe that we can win this series.Game 3 is Sunday night.Were up against it. Weve got to win three in a row, second-year Rangers manager Jeff Banister said. Weve got to start with one.Kevin Pillar, Ezequiel Carrera and Edwin Encarnacion, who ended the AL wild-card game with a three-run homer in the 11th inning, hit solo homers in a five-batter span in the fifth to go up 5-0. Troy Tulowitzkis two-run drive in the second put 20-game winner J.A. Happ and the Blue Jays ahead to stay.I was struggling with the strike zone and then was getting behind in the count and they were looking for the fastballs, Darvish said through his interpreter. And when I left it on the plate, they got it.It was only Darvishs second postseason appearance in his five seasons with the Rangers after coming from Japan. The right-hander lost the 2012 AL wild-card game to Baltimore, and missed all of last season after Tommy John surgery.Darvish had as many strikeouts (four) in his five innings as homers allowed, becoming the first pitcher in the postseason to allow four homers in a game since Minnesotas Rick Reed against Oakland in Game 3 of the 2002 ALDS. He stared upward in disbelief after the balls landed in the seats.Texas outhit the Blue Jays 13-6 and had multiple runners on base against Happ in each of the first four innings. The only time they scored off the lefty was on Ian Desmonds RBI single in the fourth.The Rangers have lost five straight ALDS games to Toronto since winning the first two games in Toronto last October. Texas dropped to 1-11 in ALDS games in its home ballpark.Texas scored twice in the eighth, including Carlos Gomezs single that struck Francisco Liriano near the back of the head. The pitcher walked off the mound, and an ambulance was waiting after the game to take him to the hospital for what Gibbons referred to as some further tests.The ball off Gomezs bat was measured at 102 mph, and Liriano turned away just in time to avoid being hit in the face.Its tough to see that, but its part of the game, Gomez said. Just wait for the good news that hes OK.Roberto Osuna, the 21-year-old closer, then came on to get the final five outs, the first when Desmond greeted him with an RBI grounder. Adrian Beltre had a leadoff double in the ninth, but got stranded there.OUT AT HOMEDesmond had a leadoff double in the seventh, but later was thrown out at the plate when third baseman Josh Donaldson fielded a grounder and threw home. The out call stood after a replay challenge by the Rangers.The fact that were talking about that is kind of what the issue is. ... That shouldnt have been a make-or-break, Desmond said. Obviously, Ive got to score. It was a tough play.COOL DOWNAt first pitch, it was overcast with a temperature of 67 degrees, but the game started on time after rain fell overnight and in the early-morning hours at Globe Life Park. It was 90 degrees Thursday at the start of the series opener that was played under bright, sunny conditions.UP NEXTBlue Jays: One of the two losses by RHP Aaron Sanchez, the AL ERA leader at 3.00, was to Texas. He gave up a season high-matching six runs and was the loser in that May 15 game with the bench-clearing brawl after Toronto star Jose Bautista was punched by Rougned Odor.Rangers: RHP Colby Lewis is 4-1 with a 2.38 ERA in nine career postseason games (eight starts) for Texas. In 2010, he won the AL Championship Series clincher to get the Rangers to their first World Series, and beat San Francisco in Game 3 for their only victory in that series.

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Jesse Ertz and Kansas State rushed to the end of coach Bill Snyders 25th regular season, and to another bowl game.Ertz ran for a career-high 170 yards with a touchdown and Justin Silmon had 133 yards rushing with two touchdowns as the Wildcats won 30-6 at TCU on a drizzly Saturday.We just did what we do. I dont think there was any secret or anything new we threw at them, said Ertz, the junior quarterback who also had an 83-yard scoring pass. Im just looking to go 9-4 and finish out strong.Coach Bill Snyder got his 201st victory in 25 seasons with the Wildcats (8-4, 6-3 Big 12), who next will play in their 20th bowl game -- the 19th under Snyder. Kansas State appears headed to the Houston Bowl to play an SEC team after winning five of its last six games.To finish it out strong ... get that eighth win, it was very important for us, Silmon said.Kansas State ran for 336 yards, its sixth consecutive 200-yard game on the ground. The Wildcats have 17 rushing TDs their past four games.TCU (6-6, 4-5) will play in its 14th bowl with Gary Patterson, even after finishing the regular season without a winning record for only the third time in the coachs 16 full seasons and being held without a touchdown in a game for the first time since 2006.Really across the board we got thrown around by everybody, Patterson said. Weve got to grow up on offense. Until they do that, we wont win many games against good people.The Wildcats went ahead for good when Ertz broke free for a 32-yard TD run in the second quarter to make it 10-3.Right after halftime, Ertz threw a quick slant to Byron Pringle, who caught the ball near Kansas States 30 and took off sprinting down the middle of the field on the 83-yard catch-and-run score. He escaped a defender diving at his ankles before going the final 20 yards.Simlon had both of his TDs after halftime, including a 5-yard score when he avoided two tacklers in the backfield and then bulled through another defender.I think maybe the second half might have as been as good a half as we have played, Snyder saaid.dddddddddddd Defensively, we played well across the board throughout the ball game.THE TAKEAWAYKansas St.: With Ertz effectively leading the way, the Wildcats continue to pound teams with their running game. Ertz has three 100-yard games and 99 in another in the last six games. Snyder said the Wildcats have gotten better overall each game.TCU: Where has that fast-paced, high-scoring offense gone? TCU hadnt been held without a touchdown in a decade, since a 12-3 home win over Texas Tech in 2006. The Horned Frogs also had only six points in their previous home game -- They had an extra point blocked after a touchdown in a 31-6 loss to Oklahoma State two weeks ago.HE SAID ITWere going to have to grow up or go recruit. Thats what I told them Im doing tomorrow, Im going recruiting. Got to grow up. Cant be shaking your head and putting your head down when you get beat. You got to grow up. Thats what 4-year-olds do. Thats not what men do. You got to grow up. -- Patterson.BETTER THAN PREDICTEDKansas State was the preseason pick to finish eighth in the Big 12. The Wildcats instead finished fourth. Every year it seems like we come out and prove people wrong, linebacker Trent Tanking said.TAKEN AWAYBoth teams thought they had defensive touchdowns. TCU defensive end Josh Carraway scooped up what initially was ruled a fumble by Ertz and returned it 6 yards. Replay overturned the call to an incomplete pass. In the fourth quarter, officials ruled that TCU running back Kyle Hicks forward progress had been stopped before he fumbled and K-State took the ball to the end zone.UP NEXTKansas State and TCU both wait to find out for sure Sunday where they will be going for their bowl games. While the Wildcats will likely return to Texas for their bowl game, the Horned Frogs could also be playing an SEC team in the Liberty Bowl in Memphis.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
