Darvish quiets Bucs, Myers has five RBIs
Yu Darvish gave the Padres’ overworked bullpen most of the night off, allowing three hits in seven dominant innings, and Wil Myers drove in five runs as San Diego won 62 in Pittsburgh on Monday night.
Darvish struck out six and walked one as the Padres won their fourth straight. San Diego relievers entered having worked a majorleaguehigh 43 innings, 81⁄3 in Texas on Sunday after starter Adrian Morejon left in the first with an injury.
“It’s no secret what we had to do yesterday,” San Diego manager Jayce Tingler said. “For Yu to go out and give us those seven innings was huge.”
