Yu Darvish¡¯s return to the mound last week wasn¡¯t the stuff of fairy tales, but the San Diego Padres were just glad to have the former All-Star back out there.

The 38-year-old right-hander is scheduled to make just his second start since May 29 on Tuesday when the Padres open a two-game interleague series at the Seattle Mariners.

Last Wednesday against the visiting Detroit Tigers, Darvish lasted just 2? innings as he gave up three runs on four hits, with two walks and four strikeouts. San Diego rallied to win 6-5 in 10 innings.
