Yu Darvish pitched seven scoreless innings, extending his scoreless streak to 25 frames, and earned his 200th professional victory as the visiting San Diego Padres hammered the Atlanta Braves 9-1 on Sunday.
"I'm relieved to reach 200 wins," Darvish said after the game. "I think I'm headed in a good direction by taking care of my body and adjusting my training."
Darvish has 107 MLB wins to go with the 93 he recorded in Japan for the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters. Darvish is the third pitcher to reach 200 wins between North America and Japan, trailing only Hiroki Kuroda (203) and Hideo Nomo (201) in combined wins between MLB and NPB.
