He gave two foreballs in the two pitches, but from the 7th batter he used a slider, and from the 8th he took a blank strikeout on the curve and got through.
However, after taking one out three times, the first batter hit a two-base hit and was replaced.

On this day's pitching, the fastball, which had been a challenge, had a ball and marked the fastest 154 km, and showed a pattern of pushing with the fastball and competing with a good slider.
