Darvish: ``Even I was nervous'' on Hiroki Matsui, who struck out three players in a row the day before. On the 23rd, pitcher Darvish participated in his third actual pitching practice of this camp in Peoria, Arizona, and threw 32 pitches against a total of six batters.

Initially, the plan was to throw 15 to 20 pitches, but Darvishes said with a smile, ``I didn't really care about the number of pitches I threw''
