Darvish on His Scoreless Streak

by Patrick Newman (Jun 2, 2011)

Yu Darvish is in the midst of a dominant stretch. Over his last four starts, he hasn't allowed a run, and has pitched every inning except one for a 35-inning scoreless streak.

Here's what he had to say following his most recent shutout, against Hanshin on Tuesday, translated by Adam.

"I didn't really think about it (pitching for the team's fourth consecutive shutout win), I just focused on the batters one at a time and wanted to keep them down until my team mates scored some runs. Hanshin has some great hitters, so I'm glad I was able to pitch carefully." Darvish continued, saying that his seventh consecutive victory is, "thanks to my teammates' defense, their hitting, and the support of the fans. I'm incredibly thankful." He credited catcher Shota Ono with his 35 inning streak of no runs allowed. "I owe it to Ono."
