Blue Jays 2, Rangers 0: Melky Cabrera doubled in two runs in the eighth inning and Drew Hutchison outdueled Yu Darvish as visiting Toronto blanked Texas in the opener of a three-game series.

Hutchison (2-3) threw his first career complete game and allowed three hits with one walk and six strikeouts for his first victory since his season debut on April 1. The right-hander threw 105 pitches and allowed just one hit after the third for Toronto, which won for the fourth time in its last five games.

Darvish (3-2), who flirted with a perfect game in his last start against the Boston Red Sox, held Toronto without a hit until Adam Lind singled to begin the fifth. The Blue Jays broke through in the eighth when Erik Kratz and Anthony Gose reached on back-to-back bunt singles and both scored on Cabrera’s one-out double past first baseman Mitch Moreland.

Lind had two hits against Darvish, who struck out 11 and allowed five hits over eight innings on 116 pitches. The Rangers were held without an extra-base hit while being blanked for the second time in their last three games.

Texas began the ninth with an infield single by rookie Rougned Odor, but Hutchison retired the next three batters in order to seal the impressive outing. Adrian Beltre and Leonys Martin had the only other two hits for the Rangers, who have lost eight of their last 10 games at home.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Texas SS Elvis Andrus went 0-for-4, snapping his 11-game hit streak. … The Rangers announced that RHP Nick Martinez, who threw 34 pitches in relief on Wednesday, will start Sunday’s series finale. … Darvish recorded 10 or more strikeouts for the 22nd time in his career.
