It is so difficult to win double digits for two consecutive years.

Chicago Cubs left-hander Shota Imanaga (32) was hit hard. He started against the New York Mets at Wrigley Field in Chicago on the 26th (Korea time), allowing eight runs in five ⅔ and becoming a losing pitcher. He had nine hits, including two homers, and recorded the most runs in the season. He showed the worst slump in his last appearance in the pennant race. 9-8 with a 3.73 ERA.

Imanaga, the main pitcher of the Yokohama BayStars, moved to the Major League after posting last year. Since his first year, he has won 15 games (3 losses, 2.91 ERA) and announced his presence as an ace. I had a hard time this year compared to last year. He had 173 strikeouts in 173 ⅓ innings last year, but only 117 in 144 ⅔ innings this year.




Imanaga won his ninth victory of the season against the Atlanta Braves on the 2nd. He allowed three runs in six innings with 78 pitches. Failed to add a win after this game. He has only lost two games in four games. He has eight homers in four games. He had 31 homers in 25 games this season until the game against the New York Mets on the 26th. He is second in the number of homers in the American League.

He started by giving up two runs first in the first inning. The leadoff batter's walk served as an excuse for the loss. With one out and runners on second, he was hit by a double to left field by No. 3 Pete Alonso. With one out and runners on the second and third bases, he allowed two runs with a foul fly and a timely hit.

After passing the second inning with three outs, additional runs came out in the third inning. Leading hitter Francisco Lindor hit a superior one-run home run. 0-3. The 4th inning was also difficult. One out and runners on first and second base with consecutive hits after one out. No. 7 Brett Beattie pushed a 146 km/h fastball thrown by Imanaga to hit it over the left fence. It was a high course mistake in the middle. 0-6.

Imanaga allowed two runs in the sixth inning and was replaced with two outs. The Chicago Cubs scored four, five and six straight times but failed to turn the tide. The game ended five to eight.

While Imana struggled, Seiya Suzuki flew. He hit two home runs and four RBIs as a right fielder. He hit his 28th left-center home run in the fourth inning and his 29th three-run home run in the sixth inning. He restarted his home run for the first time in 50 days since the game against the Cincinnati Reds on Aug. 6. If you add one more, you will achieve your first '30 Home Run'. If you add another 3 RBIs, it will be '100 RBIs'.
