Darvish’s 9th win is “All-Star-class content” Commander “So formidable” | Full-Count

7th inning against the Mets, 9K, 1 goal … The second half is the best start

■ Padres 4-1 Mets (23rd Japan time, New York)

Padres’ Yu Darvish started the game against Mets in New York on the 22nd (23rd Japan time) and scored his 9th win of the season with 1 run in 7 innings, 4 hits and 9 strikeouts. .. After the match, coach Bob Melvin praised Ace, who beat Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer, saying, “I was able to leave the mound to Yu and win in a good way.”

The second half began with an ace showdown, which Darvish won. “The first game of the second half is often against a pitcher who has pitched many times as an all-star. It makes a lot of sense to beat such an opponent (Scherzer). Score points in the early stages. Or do you want to throw the number of balls? HR was also big today, but I scored 2 points (early) and left the mound to Yu, and I was able to win in a good way. “

Darvish has now pitched seven times in a row for three pitches. Although he says, “I get 5 or 6 days each time,” it’s the first time in toughness that I can hardly see in the current major leagues. The commander also praised this, saying, “The ERA is 3.28, and he throws seven times each game, and sometimes he throws more when the bullpen needs to rest, and he is willing to concede.” .. “It’s 9-4, all-star content. He always throws well, so we take it for granted,” he continued.

The key to the Mets strike is the split, which Darvish says “increased proportions.” “The split was big today. He’s tough because it can be a completely different assembly than when he first played. He can be fixed during the match, so it’s tough,” said the commander. He has tremendous trust in the illusionary ace.
