Padres Hiroki Matsui pitches in exhibition game and strikes out 3 players in a row. Matsui drove in a strike against the first batter with his third pitch, the fastest fastball of the day at 149.6km/h.
After driving in the next batter with fastballs and splits, he struck out on the fourth pitch with a slider, and then the third batter also struck out. He said he was "nervous" in his first actual game, but when he took the mound, shortstop Kim Ha-sung called out to him in Japanese, "Good luck!"
