(Adds late games) May 16 (The Sports Xchange) - Highlights of Friday's Major League Baseball games. - - - Blue Jays 2, Rangers 0 Drew Hutchison won a pitcher's duel against Yu Darvish, throwing a complete-game shutout as the Blue Jays edged Texas. Darvish struck out 11 in eight innings and did not allow a hit until the fifth, but it was not enough on a quiet night for the Texas (20-22) bats. Toronto (22-21) broke through for a pair of runs in the top of the eighth inning where Melky Cabrera delivered a two-run double. Darvish (3-2) had not allowed a run in 15 2/3 innings before Toronto scored in the eighth. - - - Tigers 1, Red Sox 0 The Detroit Tigers continued a perfect road trip as Max Scherzer and four relievers combined on a three-hitter to beat the Boston Red Sox. After sweeping three games in Baltimore, the Tigers (25-12) continued a nine-game trip by winning the first game of the season series against the team that defeated them in last year's American League Championship Series. Scherzer, winning his sixth straight start to go to 6-1, pitched six-plus inning while Torii Hunter had an RBI single for Detroit in the first inning. - - - Brewers 4, Cubs 3 Jean Segura collected three hits and drove in two runs and closer Francisco Rodriguez picked up his Major-League leading 17th save as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs.
