Darvish dominant in Dodgers debut

NEW YORK — Yu Darvish fit right in with the steamrolling Dodgers, striking out 10 in seven innings of three-hit ball in his team debut for a 6-0 victory over the Mets on Friday night.

Chris Taylor hit a leadoff homer against Jacob deGrom, and Mets nemesis Chase Utley added a two-run shot as the Dodgers improved baseball’s best record to 77-32 with their 11th victory in 12 games.

Yasiel Puig also went deep for the Dodgers, who have outscored the Mets 42-11 in winning all five meetings this season.

On the best extended roll by a National League team since World War II, the Dodgers are 42-7 since June 7 — a stretch unequaled in franchise history. They have won 22 of 25 since July 4, with all three losses coming against the Braves.

In his first start since being acquired from the Rangers for three prospects just before the trade deadline, Darvish made the Dodgers look even better.

With his confident teammates behind him, the four-time AllStar snapped a five-game losing streak and won for the first time in nine outings since June 12 against the Astros.

Darvish went 6-9 with a 4.01 ERA in 22 starts for the Rangers — and his last one was a dud. The right-hander gave up a careerhigh 10 runs over 32⁄3 innings July 26 in a 22-10 loss to the Marlins, but his first game with the Dodgers could not have gone more smoothly.

Mixing his 95-96 mph fastball with a 71-75 mph curve and other pitches, Darvish easily silenced a Mets team that has lost five of six.

The Dodgers held the Mets to four singles — including one by deGrom, who also became the first Mets pitcher to steal a base since Oliver Perez did it in May 2008.
