Yokohama BayStars right-hander Shintaro Fujinami (31) returned to Japan and laughed in two games. He started the game against the Chunichi Dragons at Yokohama Stadium on the 31st and showed four hits and no runs in seven innings. It was his first win for Yokohama and his first win in 1,073 days in Japan. He threw 107 pitches against 28 batters, struck out nine, walked two and gave up one out.
He added his 57th career win against the Hiroshima Carp on September 23, 2022, as a member of the Hanshin Tigers, and then added his first win in three years. He also exceeded 1,000 innings in his 13th year as a professional. Yokohama, where the starting pitcher pitched well, won a 2-0 Youngbong. He gave up both of the previous two games, but thanks to Hu Jinami, he avoided a sweep of three consecutive games.
He took the mound two weeks after his return match against Chunichi on Aug. 17. Chunichi put a left-handed hitter at the front following the first game. In the first game, he filled 1 to 9 times as left-handed hitters, and will 8 left-handed hitters come to the starting lineup in the game?It's f.
After the first game, Chunichi Inoue Kazuki "Fujinami's fastball was at risk of injury, so he couldn't make the best lineup." He said he was conscious of Fujinami's uneasy control.

It overwhelmed the Chunichi batters early in the game. He handled nine consecutive hitters in the first to third innings. He struck out all three batters in the third inning. He struck out five out of nine outs through the third inning.

He successively induced three subsequent batters to ground out to overcome the crisis. After giving up a double to No. 4 Bosler after two outs in the sixth inning, he struck out No. 5 Itayama and took a breather.
He faced another run crisis in the seventh inning. After consecutive hits, he hit second and third base with one out as a sacrifice. The follow-up hitter was caught with a fly ball to the second base and a ground ball to the third base, and handed over the mound to the bullpen.
Chunichi, who had won four consecutive games, suffered its 21st Youngbong defeat of the season. After the middle, he succeeded in attacking Hu Jinami, but his last concentration was disappointing. He sent runners to the scoring position in the fourth to seventh consecutive innings and lost the opportunity.
Fujinami, a former Koshien star, wore a Hanshin uniform as a rookie in 2013. After 10 seasons with Hanshin, he moved to the Major League. He started with the Oakland Athletics in 2023 and finished the season with the Baltimore Orioles. He threw seven games as a starter and was pushed to the bullpen. 첫해 64경기에 등판해
