Yu Darvish overcomes frustrations to get first win with Cubs

CINCINNATI -- A pivotal moment for Chicago Cubs righty Yu Darvish came in the fourth inning on Sunday.

He had just walked Cincinnati Reds starter Tyler Mahle and was showing some signs of frustration. It wasn't the first time he had issued a free pass to the opposing pitcher this season, and with two Reds on-base and two outs, it was anyone's guess what would happen next.

Darvish had imploded in other similar situations in a Cubs uniform so first baseman Anthony Rizzo decided to pay him a visit.
