The Yomiuri Giants lost coolly at Tokyo Dome on the 5th, the Children's Day. The mound collapsed in succession, giving up 10 points. It is the second double-digit loss in his 31st game this season. Earlier on April 14, he lost 12 points in an away match against Hiroshima Carp and knelt down by nine points.

It is a more painful defeat because the opponent is the Hanshin Tigers. Moreover, in this year's Tokyo Dome, he won '4 games in the 'traditional rival war'. Hanshin has won four consecutive home games since the opening for the first time in 21 years.

He lost six games (one win) against Hanshin in seven games this season. The loss tied Hanshin for first place in the Central League. In other words, all the necessary and sufficient conditions for refusing interviews after the game have been met.




Angered manager Abe Shinnosuke Yomiuri (46) was also criticized for refusing to interview the media after the game. There is no justification for an act of failing to control emotions just because they suffered a humiliating defeat. It is hard to avoid criticism that it is unprofessional. The young leader in his 40s, who took the helm last year, failed to shed his authority. The Yomiuri Giants are not in the bottom half, they are a leading team.

This is the second time this year that he refuses to cover the news. It was the same against the Yokohama BayStars on April 17. Masahiro Tanaka made his second start, allowing six runs in two innings and coming down. On this day, Yomiuri was completely defeated 1-9 after 15 hits in front of home fans. Yokohama ace Azuma Katsuki blocked the Yomiuri batters with no runs until the eighth inning. Abe left the stadium without an interview. It was an act that could only be explained with the intention of showing that the game was not going well.

Even in his first year in office, Abe was controversial for refusing to interview him. In August last year, he left the ground with the aforementioned face shortly after being completely defeated by the Chunichi Dragons 2-8. It was also a home game at Tokyo Dome.




There was a tense flow through the middle. Shohei Dogo, the starter and ace of the opening game for the second consecutive year, returned to the first team game in 24 days. He pitched one run until the fifth inning, but allowed two runs on four hits in the sixth inning. He allowed five hits and three runs (two earned) in six innings.

Unfortunately, he served as a starting pitcher like an ace. He escaped the shock of the match against Hiroshima on April 11. Dogo allowed 10 runs in three ⅓ innings in the game and went down to the second division.

Dogo collapsed sharply after turning over the mound. Yokogawa Guy allowed four runs in two innings, and Kenshin Hokkaido allowed three runs in one inning. Yokogawa allowed consecutive walks due to poor control after one out in the seventh inning. With the bases loaded, he allowed one run with a walk and a timely hit.




Despite the big shaking, the Yomiuri bench continued to entrust Yokogawa with the mound. In other words, the failure to replace the pitcher led to a crushing defeat. The ultimate responsibility lies with the director.

In the ninth inning, Hanshin No. 4 hitter Teruaki Sato threw a counter punch. With no outs and runners on the second and third bases, he hit a three-run home run against Hokkaido to seal the victory. A high fastball became a prey in the middle of the 147 km/h first pitch. Season 11.

Sato led the Central League in home runs by widening the gap to three with Yomiuri No. 4 Kazuma Okamoto (8). He is the lone top scorer in this category (31) by adding three RBIs.

Hanshin's smooth mound operation stood out. Opener Domida Ren was replaced after allowing one run in three innings. Four pitchers then took the mound and blocked six scoreless innings. Second pitcher Jeremy Beasley won the game with three scoreless innings. In contrast to the Yomiuri Giants, he pitched well in the relay.
