As Yu Darvish struggles again, Cubs search for answers
Is Yu Darvish overthinking his pitching gameYu Darvish might be one of the first pitchers in history to hear boos from fans during a no-hit bid...in his own ballpark.
However, is it possible to actually call an outing a "no-hit bid" if the starter doesn't even throw a pitch in the fifth inning?
Darvish managed just 4 innings in the Cubs' 4-1 victory Thursday afternoon but allowed only 1 hit — a groundball through the right side with 2 outs in the fourth inning. That single — off the bat of .188-hitting outfielder Rosell Herrera — also drove in the only run off the Cubs starter, so Darvish was actually able to lower his season ERA to 5.40 on the afternoon.
