NEW YORK — Yu Darvish fit right in with the Dodgers: He dominated.

The prized new pitcher struck out 10 over seven innings of three-hit ball during a brilliant debut for Los Angeles, leading the top team in the majors past the New York Mets 6-0 on Friday night.

"It couldn't have went any better," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said . "I can't even tell you how excited he was to throw that first pitch."

Chris Taylor hit a leadoff homer against Jacob deGrom, and Mets nemesis Chase Utley added a two-run shot as Los Angeles improved baseball's best record to 77-32 with its 11th victory in 12 games.
