Yu Darvish may not have been perfect by any traditionally accepted measures Wednesday afternoon, but his performance was more than good enough to earn him his first win at Wrigley Field. Not just this year, but as a Cub. Or as a member of any team, since he’d never won there prior to 2018 either. That had to have felt pretty good.
“It’s amazing,” Darvish told reporters after the game. “First win at Wrigley. I was always looking for that first win.”
Hell, that was only his third win of the season and his first since back on April 27 in Arizona.
