Historically, the Padres play badly at Coors Field. But this time, they had an advantage -- Yu Darvish. 🧢⚾
Yu continued his fabulous September, striking out eight over 6.0 innings in a 9-3 win over the Rockies. He gave up a solo home run in the 1st inning to Ryan McMahon but his offense picked him up. Manny Machado and Jake Cronenworth each had RBI knocks in the 3rd inning to put the Friars on top 2-1. Machado drove in another win with a groundout in the 5th to make it 3-1. Meanwhile, Darvish found his swing-and-miss stuff.
Yu struck out the side in the 4th inning and really only encountered any trouble in the 5th. Yonathan Daza hit a sacrifice fly to cut the lead to 3-2, then Darvish got by with a little help from his friends. Randal Grichuk hit a sinking liner to right-centerfield that looked like a game-tying hit but Trent Grisham glided over and made a fabulous diving catch to end the inning.
