News about Yu Darvish

After San Diego Padres owner Peter Seidler died at the age of 63 on Tuesday, team pitcher Yu Darvish was seen laying wreaths at Petco Park to honor the late owner. Darvish has played for the Padres since 2021, including stints with the Chicago Cubs, and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Seidler had undergone medical treatment, which would prevent him from attending any games the remainder of the season.

Manny Machado thought he had called time as the pitch clock wound down to eight seconds. Ron Kulpa, a plate umpire, mistakenly called an automatic strike three to end the first inning. The San Diego Padres' star argued that slugger said something that Kulpa didn't like and was ejected. That was only the biggest drama of the day for the Padres, who blew a four-run lead and lost 8-6 to the Arizona Diamondbacks after the bullpen melted down while trying to save Yu Darvish's good season debut. José Herrera singled out in the four-run eighth when the Diamondbacks stole four bases and were assisted by two errors in the go-ahead run. Josh Rojas stole home as part of a double robbery. Rojas had three hits and two RBI.
