LOS ANGELES — Yu Darvish pivoted on top of the mound to watch Freddie Freeman’s grounder roll through a hole on the left side of the infield, leaned back and looked briefly to the sky.
Freeman had just sent the eighth pitch he saw from Darvish in the third inning the other way for a run-scoring single. And Darvish in that moment had the look that said what every Padres player and everyone who roots for them is wondering.
What is it going to take to beat these guys?
