The Rundown: Yu Can’t Always Get What You Want, Bryant’s Potential to Bounce Back, Braves Explode for 29 Runs

My odds of getting a Yu Darvish tattoo went down just a little bit last night as he gave up three runs to the Reds in the 1st inning. The big righty walked back-to-back batters and gave up a two-out homer to Mike Moustakas on a curveball that hung up just a little high in the zone. He ended up walking another Red later in the game, the first time since June 5, 2019 that he’s walked three batters in a game.

As an aside, those three walks are actually as many as he’s compiled in any two-game stretch since he walked two each on June 21 and 26 last season.
