Yu Darvish has been awesome against the Milwaukee Brewers this season, allowing just one earned run in two starts against the rivals to the north. Darvish got a no-decision in the 3-2 Chicago Cubs win Friday, but he'll take the good outing and he also got his first hit on the North Side.
Darvish hit a leadoff double in the fifth inning that gave everyone a laugh, including Justin Verlander poking some fun at the lack of gracefulness the Cubs pitcher showed running the bases. But let's focus on the good: Yu Darvish is an extra base machine!
He now has five career hits, remember before getting traded to the Dodgers last year Darvish was in the American League for six years, but three of them have been extra base hits. Not bad. His double on Friday might have been helped out by a special bat used by Darvish.
Apparently he was using a Shohei Ohtani bat.
Yu also has a good sense of humor about tripping around second base.
