San Diego had a home game against the Chicago White Sox at Petco Park in San Diego, California on the 23rd (Korea time).
On this day, Darvish threw 87 balls (57 strikes) in 61/3 innings, recording a quality start with three hits, two runs and nine strikeouts.

With this, Darvish achieved his first 2,000 strikeouts after surpassing the previous Asian record of 1918 held by Japanese-born Hideo Nomo.
Darvish, however, failed to win even after a quality start of 9K game on the day. The San Diego Padres' lineup exploded belatedly.
San Diego trailed 1-2 through the seventh inning, but won 4-2 after scoring three points in the eighth inning. As a result, the team effectively clinched the top spot in the wild card category.
Darvish pitched 76 1/3 innings in 15 games of the season to the day of his new milestone, going 6-3 with a 3.18 ERA and 74 strikeouts.
He showed poor performance in his first game since returning from injury. However, he has displayed good performance with 2.08 ERA by allowing four runs in 171/3 innings in the recent three games.
