AP’s San Francisco In Monday night’s 4-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants, the San Diego Padres supported Yu Darvish with a two-run homer off Logan Webb after Jake Croneworth produced a game-winning RBI single in the seventh.
In his eighth start of the season, Darvish (2-3) gave up one run on four hits while striking out six and without walking a batter across six innings. Due to elbow problems, the right-hander missed more than three months of the season. It wasn’t until July 7 that he started.
