"There are only direct balls, forks, and sliders. Three pitches are difficult in modern baseball. If it's precise control, you won't know it."

Manager Abe Shinnosuke of the Yomiuri Giants criticized the ace. It is frustrating that the main pitcher who has been starting the opening game for the second consecutive year is in mid-May, but there is no victory. Pointing out the monotonous pitching pattern, he urged efforts.

Former Yomiuri coach Yoshinobu Takahashi threw carefully because he was conscious of his first win. As I paid attention to the left and right heights, the number of walks increased and I self-destructed." Former coach Takahashi, a legend from Yomiuri, ordered a tough game as before.




Shosei Dogo (27) failed to win 'first win'. In the match against the Hiroshima Carp held at the Mazda Stadium in Hiroshima on the 13th, he allowed four runs until the fifth inning and was replaced. He gave up three walks on eight hits, including two homers. He was pulled out at 1-4 but avoided defeat.

In five games this season, he has lost three games without winning, 8.06 ERA, and only one quality start (more than six innings as a starter, less than three earned runs). The maximum number of pitches was six innings, and two games did not fill five innings. It is an unexpected overall slump.

I felt sorry for my control from the first inning. After one out, he allowed a walk to No. 2 Kikuchi Ryosuke. The slider thrown from the full count fell slightly to the low course outside the right-handed batter.




Sandro Fabien was hit to the middle and Shota Sukane was walked to the fourth, leading to the crisis. a bases loaded with one out. The worst has unfolded. the first run on a walk. Four pitches thrown against No. 5 Sakakura Sogo became balls in a row.

After two outs in the second inning, he had three consecutive hits. Hiroshima No. 1 Shosei Nakamura hit a one-run home run over the left-center field. Hit a forkball that dropped to the low course in the middle at 1B1S. Dogo then got two hits and rushed to first and second bases with two outs. Fortunately, Suecane was induced with an infield grounder and finished the second inning without additional runs.

He also lost a point in the third inning. Sakakura, the leadoff hitter, had a double to the middle of the month, and Kaito Jojo, the sixth, had a timely hit to the middle. He handed over the fourth inning with three outs and allowed an additional run in the fifth inning. Leadoff hitter No. 4 Sukane hit a one-run home run to the left. The first curve drove into the middle. The hit rate is 0.351 until the 13th.




There was a lot of regret because the opponent was Hiroshima and the place was Mazda Stadium. Dogo was substituted after allowing 10 runs (nine earned) in three ⅓ innings in an away game in Hiroshima on April 11. It was my worst game since I became a professional player. Immediately after this game, he was notified of his second leg.

He returned from reorganization in the second division for more than three weeks. On May 5, he allowed three runs (two earned) in six innings against Hanshin Tigers. The content was the best this season, but he became a losing pitcher. It is the only game he finished with a quality start.

Yomiuri followed up with difficulty after replacing the ace. Trey Cavage hit a two-run home run in the eighth inning, trailing 2-4, bringing the game to square one. But it collapsed at the end. With one out and runners on first and third in the 12th inning of extra time, Hiroshima No. 7 Elefury Montero hit a walk-off hit.
