You can see the 36-year-old move his leg funny after the pitch and did his best to get through it, but he couldn't. The commentators mentioned he was grabbing the back of his leg. It looked like he hurt it just as he threw his 102nd pitch of the game. 

Darvish went 5.2 innings and allowed only two hits, one earned run, five walks, and struck out five batters. This was his fourth start of the season. Hopefully, this is nothing too severe for the righty ace. We'll keep you guys updated.
