Yu Darvish walked the tightrope against the Twins on Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) over 5 2/3 innings as part of a no-decision.
Darvish allowed nine hits, four walks and hit a batter, so things could have been much worse. He loaded the bases on three separate occasions, including when he was ultimately pulled for left-hander Robbie Ross with two outs in the bottom of the sixth. Fortunately for Darvish (and Darvish owners), Ross was able to get Justin Morneau to pop up to end the scoring threat. We're expecting better things from Darvish moving forward, but he clearly needs to be more efficient.
