Yu Darvish allowed only one run on four hits over seven innings to the Pirates on Monday. Darvish had the extreme misfortune of pitching opposite Gerrit Cole, so he lost anyway and fell to 12-8 with a 2.84 ERA. Darvish struck out six and walked only one, nice to see after he was whipped for five runs by the A's last time out. The right-hander also didn't surrender a home run after coughing up five in his last three starts.
