SAN DIEGO -- Yu Darvish was bloodied Tuesday night, in the literal sense. Then in the figurative sense, too. Pitching with a blood stain on his pants leg ...

One thing Darvish has never dealt with in his two seasons with the Padres is a postseason loss. He got the most out of that at-bat.” “He was mixing it up a lot. “Two solo home runs -- that’s a tough one. He was unpredictable,” Padres catcher Austin Nola said. The 87.2 mph cutter on the first pitch of the sixth inning lingered over the heart of the plate, belt-high. It was because of his pitching motion. Pitching with a blood stain on his pants leg above his right knee, Darvish held the Phillies to three hits over seven innings in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series. “I knew he was waiting on something offspeed, and the ball kind of went into the middle there. The 368-footer would have been a home run in only 14 MLB ballparks, per Statcast, but its 42-degree launch angle got it just far enough to go out. Darvish made one of his few mistake pitches, and Schwarber punished him for it. Then in the figurative sense, too.

Game one NLCS starting lineups between Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres. Starter Yu Darvish looks to maintain his success this season over the ...

Current fan favorite Wil Myers is in the starting lineup once again despite his .087 postseason batting average. But, in the loss – Nabil Crismatt and Ray Kerr allowed four combined runs blowing a would-be second win against the Phillies for Darvish. I have the Padres in game one, I am starting to believe this team is becoming a thing of destiny with each passing. Maybe the Saturday night after-party in the Gaslamp will put a shot in Myers approach at the plate. The biggest test is Bryce Harper in the Phillies lineup as he is slashing .435/.480/.957 with 3 home runs. Darvish has more than delivered on that this season – a 2-0 playoff record and a 3.00 ERA have allowed the opportunity for the Padres to beat both 100-win ball clubs on the road in New York and Los Angeles.
