Original ace Tomoyuki Sugano (36) went to the Major League following his dream. He is bravely facing a major league hitter in a Baltimore Orioles uniform. He is called the "Old Rookie" and has won two games (1 loss) in four starts. Sugano pitched two runs in seven innings with 87 pitches against the Cleveland Guardians on the 18th. He achieved his first quality start and won two consecutive games.

Shosei Dogo (25) who took over the baton. From the opening game, he threw three games and went down to the second team. It is a record of three losses without a win and an 11.12 ERA that you rub your eyes and see again. The ace, who has won '12' for three consecutive years, has been hit hard in every game. In the match against Hiroshima Carp on the 11th, he allowed 10 runs (nine earned runs) with one out in the fourth inning and was substituted. It is a shocking result that has not been seen before.

A third ace appeared in the Yomiuri Giants without an ace. Right-hander Iori Yamasaki (27), who is in his fifth year of joining the team, hit '0' again. He started against the Chunichi Dragons at Tokyo Dome on the 23rd and blocked five scoreless innings.

Since the match against Chunichi on the 2nd, he has recorded four scoreless games and 28 consecutive innings. He was replaced at 0-0 and did not win four consecutive starts, but he paved the way for a 2-0 victory. Takumi Oshiro (32) hit a two-run home run in the eighth inning with one out and a runner on the first base. Oshiro, who gave up his home ground to FA catcher Takuya Guy, 33, played first base and hit a home run in two consecutive games. In the match against Chunichi the previous day, he hit consecutive batter home runs with No. 4 Kazuma Okamoto (29) in the third inning.

The pitching condition was not good compared to the previous game. In the previous three games, he gave up one walk in 23 innings, but he had two walks against Chunichi on the 23rd. There were fewer innings of pitching than in the previous game. The number of pitches was also 103. It failed to overwhelm the Chunichi lineup.

The consecutive scoreless innings from the first game of the season would have been a burden. Yamasaki added five more innings on the day to reach the tie record for the most scoreless innings by Yomiuri

He did. If he adds three more innings in the next game, he will set a new Central League record.

I endured the crisis well. He walked three to four times after two outs in the first inning. He competed with No. 3 Takahashi Shuhei on the 10th pitch and No. 4 Hosokawa Seiya on the 8th pitch. With two outs and runners on the first and second bases, No. 5 Nakata Sho was grounded out to third base to finish the inning. The number of pitches in the first inning was 28.

the fourth inning against 0-0. I got three hits. He was loaded with one out. He handled the opposing catcher and pitcher placed at No. 7-8 with a mistake and overcame the crisis. Takuya Kinoshita hit a grounder to third base and Yuya Yanagi hit a grounder to pitcher. He threw 147 kilometers per hour and 149 kilometers per hour suits to induce ground balls. Chunichi starter Yanagi also pitched five innings of two hits and no runs.

In the fifth inning, with two outs and runners on the first and third bases, Hosokawa was out with a fly ball to right field. It wasn't my best condition, but I didn't lose my concentration. Manager Abe Shinnosuke praised the record, saying, `The record would have been a burden, but I held on well.' Following Yamasaki, four bullpen pitchers were responsible for one inning each. He gave up four hits and blocked them without losing a point. Chunichi had nine hits and Yomiuri had six hits.

Yomiuri confirmed its third consecutive winning series and continued its good mood. He escaped the shock of being swept three consecutive games by Hiroshima on the 11th and 13th. He has accumulated six wins (two losses) in the last eight games.

3 wins and no losses - 0 ERA.

This is Yamasaki's performance this season.
