Yu Darvish will forever be known to Dodgers fans as the pitcher who lost in Game 7 of the 2017 World Series, but he has grown into a different pitcher since then.
The day before scaling the same mound on which he endured the worst night of his career, Yu Darvish visited the interview room at Dodger Stadium.
Looking ahead to his start the next day, Darvish said, “I think I will be able to show a different image of myself.”Wednesday night, Darvish defeated his former team in Game 2 of their National League Division Series, leading the Padres to a 5-3 victory that leveled the best-of-five series 1-1. “I caused my family a lot of pain,” Darvish said in Japanese. “I wanted to be able to send my family home today with feelings of joy.”
“After the playoffs in 2017, the person who protected me and my family the most was Kershaw,” Darvish said. “I always thought it would be nice to pitch against him in an important game like this. That finally happened.” “I definitely had some traffic all day,” Kershaw said. “Could have been a lot worse, for sure. I had to pitch out of jams basically every inning.”Darvish came to admire Kershaw’s resilience in the three months he played for the Dodgers after they acquired him at the trade deadline in 2017.
