Like Darvish against the Dodgers, Buehler has allowed seven total runs in his four starts against the Padres this season, though no more than two in any one start. I just need to do that a little bit better.”

We’ve talked about this for a long time, I think tinkering and figuring things out is something I’ve always done. “We’re actively trying to figure some things out.

He allowed 18 home runs in those 13 starts, compared to only 10 allowed in his first 16 starts.Īfter allowing just one run in each of his first three starts against the Dodgers in the first half of the season, Darvish allowed four runs in six innings on August 26 in San Diego, finishing off a Dodgers sweep. Since the start of July, Darvish has a 6.78 ERA and 5.15 FIP, with a 27.6-percent strikeout rate. Through June, Darvish had a 2.44 ERA and 3.06 FIP in 16 starts, striking out 30.5 percent of his batters. Yu Darvish starts the opener Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium, with his fortunes mirroring the Padres’ fall as the season progressed. Their once-safe lead for the second wild card spot is no more, the byproduct of dropping 29 of their last 40 games. San Diego was eliminated from playoff consideration over the weekend, a stunning collapse for a team that was built to contend. This Dodgers-Padres series in the final week of the regular season has long been anticipated, but now that it’s here, only one of the teams has a future beyond Sunday.
