The Padres starting rotation that's been so good this year had some struggles in Coors Field . So, the bullpen got a little more work than usual and could probably use a rest.The veteran righty tossed 7.0 innings, using 114 pitches to do it, in a 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks on Friday night at Petco Park to open the Friars' final series before the All-Star break. Darvish struck out nine and gave up a pair of home runs, which lately would have likely led to a loss.
Facing old nemesis Madison Burgarner, the Padres had a couple of nice innings early. In the 2nd, Austin Nola lined a 2-run double down the left field line and scored on a single from rookie Esteury Ruiz to give San Diego a 3-1 lead. The Padres got two more runs in the 3rd inning thanks to a Ha-Seong Kim RBI single and an RBI groundout from Nola.
