Mike Bolsinger outduels Yu Darvish at Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Mike Bolsinger and Yu Darvish are both rehabbing injuries, Bolsinger an oblique/abdominal strain and Darvish the dreaded Tommy John surgery. Their paths converged Thursday night in Texas, when the Triple-A Oklahoma City Dodgers played the Round Rock Express. Bolsinger got the better of Darvish in a matchup no one will remember, probably.

Bolsinger didn’t allow a run in four innings while throwing 63 pitches — up from the 47 pitches he threw in his first rehab start five days ago. He allowed two singles, a double and walked three batters.

Darvish allowed two runs (one earned) and took the loss in a 5-4 Dodgers win.

Bolsinger’s next start figures to come next Tuesday and take him into the 60-70 pitch range.
