Rangers starting pitcher Yu Darvish put an end to his seven-game winless streak Sunday against the Reds by relying heavily on his fastball. Of his 117 pitches in 6 2/3 scoreless innings, Darvish threw his fastball 47 times, his cutter 22 times and his splitter seven times, according to BrooksBaseball.net.
"I just wanted to shut up all the people who were talking about my fastball," Darvish said through an interpreter in his postgame press conference, per ESPN. "I had really good control and a lot of power so overall it was pretty good."
