City of San Diego – Yu Darvish took the win Wednesday on a good start, going through seven of six innings of a run as the San Diego Padres held the Los Angeles Angels 8-5.
Darvish (8-9) held the Angels in a one-run, three-hit and walk at Petco Park as he went on a seven-loss streak with his first win since June 21.

He dropped four runs in six rounds against the Los Angeles Dodgers on August 26 before dropping five runs earned and lasted only 2⅔ rounds against the Arizona Diamondbacks on September 1.
Darvish said: “I threw comfortably and felt great. “I just let it go my way. My quick ball worked and my change was there too. “
Darvish got plenty of early running support ahead of the visiting Angels, with Padres’ starter Mike Mayers (4-5) and two downs in the eighth round of the second run.
Adam Frazier caught up with the San Diego squad, driving in three runs in a 2 for 4 night, including an RBI double that opened the scoring in the second.
Darvish said he was disappointed when Shohei Ohtani – the Angels’ regular appointee and leader of the home MLB – was sidelined for the game, being played without a DH under National League rules.
“It’s a bit of an anti-friction,” says Darvish. “I was expecting him to come on the field (as a ball attacker). I was prepared to throw nothing but quick balls to him. “
