Despite not picking up a win after a lights-out showing against the Brewers Friday, Chicago Cubs starter Yu Darvish showed just what this rotation – and this team – is capable of.
Following hot on the heels of a masterful outing from Kyle Hendricks and a quality start from Jon Lester, the right-hander turned in six runs of solid work, allowing just an unearned run in front of the home faithful. The bullpen failed to hold the lead, before recapturing and closing the door for good – but there was a lot to like about the Cubs’ latest showing.
