Justin Verlander may have had a no-hitter through seven, but Yu Darvish struck out 14 and gave up only 4 hits (although two of them were homers) as he got the tough-luck no-decision against the Red Sox yesterday.

Darvish is having quite the year in his second season in North America and is an early Cy Young contender, and already has 72 strikeouts this season. By comparison, second place for strikeouts in the AL is Max Scherzer… with 54.
