All five wins this season were won by defending four or more points.
He led by 8 runs in the first two innings. “I have to do things that I wouldn’t normally do,” he said, and as the attack was long, he had a hard time preparing to build his shoulders in front of the bench. He kept his concentration and immediately after the 2nd inning with 2 outs and bases loaded pinch, he missed Mizuno with a low fastball struck out. “I hope I can do it with confidence where I have engraved 0 (no runs),” he said with a little confidence.
In the Rakuten game (Rakuten Mobile on the 7th), he developed poor condition in his lower body. inning The condition was checked every time, but he volunteered to throw up to the 5th inning. “As a starter, I don’t want to get off mound of my own volition,” he said, sticking to the attitude he learned from Yamamoto (Dodgers), whom he respected.
