Yu Darvish had his shortest start as a major leaguer Monday, giving up four runs in 3 1/3 innings against the A's. Darvish had pitched five innings in 64 of his 65 starts as a major leaguer, with the lone shorter outing coming May 21, 2012 against the Mariners (4 ER, 6 BB in 4 IP). He only walked two tonight, but he was still wild and constantly getting into deep counts; he ended up throwing 83 pitches to get his 10 outs. It was his first loss of the season and also his first non-quality start.
