Major League Mariners Kikuchi Avoid starting pitching due to neck pain August 15 19:50
On the 14th, Major League Mariners Yusei Kikuchi avoided pitching in the Astros game, which was scheduled to start.
Kikuchi, who had the first black star this season in pitching last season, was scheduled to start the match against the Astros in his opponent's hometown, Houston on the 14th, but he suddenly evaded pitching due to the pain of his neck cramps.
According to the team, Pitcher Kikuchi was treated after entering the stadium, but it was judged that he could not be thrown in the game, so he decided to avoid pitching about an hour before the start of the game.
"I don't know the details yet, but I'm hoping we'll be back to normal in a week or so," Mariner's director Scott Services said.
Instead of pitcher Kikuchi, the team lost to 1-11 with a pitcher who started rushingly caught the opponent's batting line and lost 9 points at one time.
