It was another frustrating game for starter Yu Darvish last night in Colorado. In almost the same fashion as his last start, Darvish fell apart in the fifth inning, giving up five runs after two were out. He was shutting down the Rockies offense until he made the fatal mistake of walking pitcher Tyler Anderson. The floodgates then opened, and Darvish was eventually pulled.
On the season Darvish sports a 6.86 ERA, 4.98 FIP and 1.63 WHIP in four starts. What is so odd is that it always seems to happen in the fifth inning.
