Yu Darvish
SP SD
Yu Darvish was torched once again by the A's, this time to the tune of seven runs -- four earned -- and eight hits in five innings of Tuesday's 10-6 loss.
Darvish struck out eight but had all sorts of problems locating his arsenal, walking five. The Japanese right-hander posted a 1.74 ERA in winning a career-best four straight starts coming into this matchup, but that didn't mean he was confident: Darvish's struggles against Oakland have been well documented. He was 0-7 with a 5.32 ERA in his last eight starts against the Athletics prior to this debacle. Darvish will try to bounce back when he toes the rubber against an improved Twins' offense on Sunday.
