Darvish pitched in two World Series games, giving up nine runs - eight of which were earned - in 3 1/3 innings. However, many on social media have pointed out the Dodgers also left 10 runners on base and 1-13 with runners in scoring position in Game 7.
I'm looking for the record for Runners Left on Base in Game 7 of a #WorldSeries. The #Dodgers have to be close. #Astros

Dodgers are 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position and have left 10 on base in a game they trail 5-1. So there's your difference.
