Yu Darvish retired the first 14 batters he faced and allowed just two hits in seven shutout innings as the San Diego Padres blanked the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers 4-0 in the rubber game of a three-game series on Sunday.
¡°Right after the game, talking to Lee, our third base coach, he¡¯s like, ¡¯Man, Yu was like a surgeon today,¡¯ and (I) thought it was clearly descriptive of his performance,¡± Padres manager Mike Shildt said. ¡°Man, he was really good. Fastball had a ton of life to it, velocity was really good, throwing it where he wanted. That was a clinic of pitching right there.¡±
Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani, whose 11 homers are tied for the team lead with Teoscar Hernandez, sat out the game with a back injury.
