Chicago Cubs can live with series opening loss to the Rockies

The Chicago Cubs are seeing not only improvement but consistency out of Yu Darvish. He’s cut down on his walks and has been able to pitch deeper into games. Last night against the Rockies, Darvish didn’t walk anyone. That’s how, as Len Kasper put it, it was ‘Coors Field’ quality start. Darvish allowed four runs on two two-run home runs. But the damage was minimized by not issuing a free pass. The ‘consistency’ part has also spread to his record–or lack of. Darvish took his eighth consecutive no-decision. His last decision was on April 27, a win versus the Arizona Diamondbacks.
