New York Mets pitcher Luis Severino will try to recreate the results San Diego Padres ace Yu Darvish saw when pitching against Shohei Ohtani during the National

Ohtani grew up watching the former Nippon Ham Fighters’ ace as a kid before embarking on his journey in professional baseball. On Sunday, when Darvish last pitched against LA, Ohtani described the pitcher as his “childhood hero” and said he’d hoped to see him and Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitch against one another.

The 38-year-old veteran pitches seven strong innings and retires Ohtani all three times he faces him in a 10-2 victory that evens the best-of-five series.
