Yomiuri, who is in a hurry to win one game, was pushed to third place…Tanaka, who lost all three games, had another chance to start a week later, and won a total of 200 wins in the U.S. and Japan (Min Chang-ki's Japanese baseball)

Masahiro Tanaka (37), who is looking at the U.S.-Japan career 200 wins, failed to move in 199 wins again. On the 21st, he allowed five runs in five â…“ innings in an away game between the Chunichi Dragons and Nagoya. He threw 81 pitches in the sixth inning with two outs and was replaced. It is the third consecutive victory since his second win (four losses) of the season against Yakult Swallows on August 21 and his 199th career victory against the U.S. and Japan.
Two home runs in the first and second innings were disappointing. In the bottom of the first inning, Chunichi No. 3 Seiji Uebayashi hit a one-run home run, and in the bottom of the second inning with a 2-1 lead, No. 8 Yuta Ito hit a two-run home run. The batters scored the first run in the first inning, but failed to keep the lead.
Tanaka, who found stability, passed three to five consecutive three-and-out innings. However, he failed to cross the centerline of the Chunichi Dragons, which he met for the third time in the sixth inning. After one out, he was substituted after two consecutive hits. Four of the five hits were long balls. Tanaka shook his head "It was a pity that I gave up a long hit" Chunichi beat the Yomiuri Giants, who are in a hurry to win one game, 5-2.
Abe said Tanaka is scheduled to take the mound against Yakult on the 28th. But Yomiuri's situation is not good. 67 wins, 3 draws and 67 losses due to Chunichi on the 21st

If you play six games, you will start the fall baseball season. It's the end of the season, so there's room for the schedule. It will be followed by the match against Hiroshima on the 23rd, the match against Yokohama on the 26th and the match against Yakult on the 28th. Every game should be fully played, and Tanaka, who has lost three consecutive games, has a chance to start. It can only be seen as an appearance schedule that is conscious of the record of the U.S.-Japan career of 200 wins.
No matter how meaningful '200 wins' can be prioritized over team performance. There are criticisms that they are too considerate of them even though they should be viewed in a cold manner. Tanaka, who once represented Japanese baseball, is not a Yomiuri legend. Left Rakuten Eagles last winter after a cacophony. Yomiuri reached out to him, who only played one game and five innings last year. It gave a legendary pitcher a chance long after his prime.
Tanaka was of little help to Yomiuri this season. Rather, the milestone put a lot of pressure on the team. With the recent ball power, it is difficult to enter the starting rotation next season. Perhaps the game against Yakult on the 28th could be his last chance.
