Darvish (1-1) earned the win in Friday's contest against the Pirates. He tossed six scoreless innings, giving up two hits and one walk while fanning seven.
Darvish was coming off a less-than-stellar season debut against the Brewers, but he bounced back admirably in this one. Darvish will attempt to build off this performance ahead of his next start, scheduled for Aug. 5 at Kansas City.
