CHICAGO -- It took 14 home starts spread across two seasons and 17 calendar months, but Chicago Cubs starter Yu Darvish finally earned his first win at Wrigley Field on Wednesday.
"It's amazing," Darvish said after leading the Cubs to a 5-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds. "First win at Wrigley. I was always looking for that first win."
It marked an important step for Darvish since he signed a six-year, $126 million deal with the Cubs in February 2018.
He spent most of last year on the injured list, then started this season slowly.
