Yu Can't See Me

14 - 14 - 14 - 14

That's the number 14 written out four times. That's also the the number of times Texas Rangers starting pitcher Yu Darvish pitched a game in which he had an MLB high 14 strikeouts.

To date, the 2013 season featured just six games in which a pitcher recorded a record high 14 strike outs, and yes, four of the six games belong to Yu Darvish. The other two belong to Chris Sale of Chicago White Sox and Anibal Sanchez of the Detroit Tigers.

Let's have a look at each of Darvish's 14 strikeout games;
