Yu Darvish struggled once again on Sunday afternoon and the Marlins took advantage of a flat performance by the Padres’ bullpen to take the series over San Diego 2-1 with a convincing 9-3 victory in Miami.
Darvish allowed four runs on five hits while striking out six batters with one walk. Over his past four starts in the month of July, he’s allowed 16 total runs and struck out 19 with the Padres going 1-3 during that span.
Manny Machado led the team with a pair of hits and drove in one of San Diego’s three runs on the day.
