CHICAGO -- Yu Darvish's chat with manager Joe Maddon appears to have paid off as the right-hander struck out eight over six impressive innings, though he missed a bid for his first win with the Cubs, who needed to rally to beat the Brewers, 3-2, on Friday afternoon at Wrigley Field.
Darvish exited with a 2-1 lead, but the Brewers tied the game in the seventh. The Cubs rallied in their half of the inning for the victory, though, their fifth in six games against Milwaukee.
Most teams are about 25 or so games into the season, and there are already some clear winners and losers out there.
