The Yomiuri Giants lost to the Giants at their home Tokyo Dome on April 5, the Children's Day, in a cool manner. They lost 10 points in a series of collapses. It is the second double-digit number of runs lost in their 31st game this season. Earlier on April 14, they lost 12 points in an away game against the Hiroshima Carp and knelt down by nine points.안전놀이터

As the Hanshin Tigers played against the Hanshin Tigers, it is a more painful defeat. Moreover, the Hanshin Tigers lost all four games at the Tokyo Dome this year. The Hanshin Tigers have recorded four consecutive home losses since the season's opening for the first time in 21 years.

He lost six games (one win) with Hanshin in seven games this season. With the loss, he tied with Hanshin for first place in the Central League. All the necessary and sufficient conditions for refusing an interview after the game have been met.

Coach Shinnosuke Abe (46) is under fire again for refusing an interview with the media after the game. The humiliating loss does not justify his failure to control his emotions. It is hard to avoid criticism that he is unprofessional. The young leader in his 40s who took the helm last year has lost its authority. The Yomiuri Giants are not at the bottom of the competition but a leading team.

This is the second time he refuses to cover the news this year. It was the same with the Yokohama BayStars match on April 17. Masahiro Tanaka took the mound as the starting pitcher for the second time and allowed six runs in two innings. On the day, the team was completely defeated by 1-9 after 15 hits in front of its home fans. Yokohama ace Katsuki Azuma blocked the Yomiuri Giants' batters without allowing a single run through the eighth inning. Abe left the stadium without an interview. The only explanation was that he wanted to show that he was angry because the game didn't start yet.

Abe also stirred controversy by refusing interviews in his first year in office. After losing 2:8 to the Chunichi Dragons in August last year, he exited the stadium with a face that recalled his past. Even at that time, he had a home game at Tokyo Dome.

The tension continued until the halfway point. Shohei Dogo, the starting pitcher and ace for the opening game for the second consecutive year, returned to the starting pitcher for the first time in 24 days. He pitched one run through 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 performed his duties 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 gave up four runs in two innings, and Hota Kenshin 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 he was hit with a timely hit.

Despite the significant fluctuations, the Yomiuri bench continued to let Yokogawa take the mound. Failure to replace pitchers resulted in a crushing defeat. The manager is ultimately responsible.

In the ninth inning, Hanshin's fourth batter, Teruaki Sato, hit a counter punch. With runners on the second and third bases with no outs, he hit a three-run homer, sealing his victory. In the middle of the 147 km/h first pitch, a high fastball became his prey. It was his 11th of this season.

Sato widened the gap with Yomiuri No. 4 Kazuma Okamoto (eight) to lead the Central League in homers by three. He added three RBIs and became the lone top scorer in the category (31).

Hanshin's smooth mound operation stood out. Opener Domida Ren was replaced after allowing one run in three innings. Four pitchers took the mound and allowed no hits and no runs in six innings. Second pitcher Jeremy Beasley pitched three scoreless innings to secure the victory. In contrast to the Yomiuri Giants, Ryu pitched well in the relay.
