Amid good news on Rougned Odor's groin, Yu Darvish twirls a gem and Fernando Tatis Jr. homers twice as Padres shut out the Chicago Cubs
Yu Darvish got back on track Saturday. The Padres got contributions, big and small . Even before a 6-0 win over the Chicago Cubs in front of a sellout crowd of 42,655, the Padres got news that was better than anyone expected after Rougned Odor needed to be helped off the field a night earlier.could“I feel good,” Odor said after an on-field workout in right field. “I mean, obviously not good, good. But I feel pretty good in comparison to how I walked off the field .
Odor estimated he worked out on the field at about 70 percent intensity, progressing from a series of straight-line jogging exercises during batting practice to shagging in the outfield. He’s hitting just .216/.303/.420 on the season, but .310/.396/.619 with three homers and 14 RBIs in 13 games since the day after a runaway slider forced Manny Machado to the shelf. His bases-clearing double helped make sure the Red Sox would not sweep the Padres at home last month and a ninth-inning home run made sure they won last week’s series in Washington.
And more than one person did on Saturday, what with small ball getting the Padres rolling early, Tatis tacking on insurance and Darvish making it stand up with seven shutout innings.
