Verlander had pitched brilliantly, allowing just one baserunner through eight innings before Hicks drilled a 1-0 fastball out to left field, snapping a 1-1 tie with his 412-foot shot.

PITCHER It was a viable strategy to pick on Darvish early in the season, but the Cubs' righty has seemingly regained his All-Star (4x) form by allowing seven earned runs with 36 strikeouts across 24 innings over his past four starts. A gem against the Phillies (7 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 10 K) last Thursday was particularly impressive. Darvish will have an excellent chance to keep that momentum against a San Francisco offense that ranks 27th in wRC+ this season. Continue to Article
