Yu Darvish In Desperate Need Of Bounce-Back Outing Tuesday
1 year agoSan Diego Padres pitcher Yu Darvish is in serious need of a productive outing Tuesday night when he takes on the Pirates in Pittsburgh. The right-hander has been shelled in each of his last three starts, combining to surrender 14 earned runs on 20 hits and seven walks across 16 1/2 innings in that time. Darvish has now surrendered at least four earned runs in three straight starts and four of his last five. The 36-year-old's rollercoaster season has culminated in a 4.84 ERA across 14 starts, however, his 3.85 FIP and 3.82 SIERA suggest that he should see improved results moving forward. Tuesday night against a Pirates offense that is tied for 23rd with a .302 wOBA against right-handed pitching represents a nice opportunity to get back on track.
