Nippon-Ham-Ham Fighters pitcher Kota Kota Tatsu “I want to try again.” He pitched a perfect pitch until there was one out in the fifth inning, but gave up two hits in the fifth. Manager Shinjo says he “passed it.” | Pacific League

Pacific League Nippon-Ham 6-5 Orix (19th, Escon)

Nippon-Ham ‘s Kota Tatsu pitcher regretted being hit twice in five innings. Perfect pitch, who did not give a single runner until the 5th inning with 1 out, was hit by a solo by Nakagawa from the 5th inning with 1 out, and was still hit by a come-from-behind grand slam from bases loaded the 9th to No. 9 Mune, and runs in 4 hit and 2 Walk. “I want to do it again, and as good as the beginning was, I wanted that inning to go well. I think there was a slight desire to end it quickly, so I could have taken a step back there.”

Nevertheless, manager Shinjo reflected, “Tatsuya pitched well today. He threw 114 pitches and gave up five runs in the fifth inning, but those kinds of things happen sometimes. He passed. I’m sure he has some things he needs to reflect on, but I don’t think there’s much he needs to change.”
