Darvish finally get the K after wasting time worrying about Barnhart at 2nd as if that plug is going to steal a base.

Darvish somehow makes it through 6 for the third time this year.

In 19 starts as a Cub, Darvish has never gotten an out in the 7th inning.

Well, because of the pen's exhaustion Darvish is pitching into the 7th for the first time!

Suarez missed the tying homer by about a foot.

Not pretty, but Darvish gets through 7.

And at a lower pitch count than he normally needs for 4.

In some defense of Darvish, it has been a really tough day to pitch, so getting 7 innings with the lead isn't all bad.  He hasn't been totally brilliant.  That Puig homer would have been demolished even if the wind was blowing 50 mph in, and giving up a near cycle to Tucker Barnhart when he was hitting .175 coming in or something like that isn't good.

Still, Darvish is probably on his way to being a productive pitcher for us if he keeps having 7 IP games with 2 BB's allowed.  It's three pretty acceptable starts in a row for him, so hopefully he's on the right track.

I guess if you leave Darvish in long enough that's bound to happen.

Third homer of the day for the Reds, the 19th off Darvish as a Cub.

Hit #12 for the Reds and Darvish is pulled.

In 20 starts as a Cub, Darvish has not gotten an out in the 8th inning
