Major League Baseball Mariners announced that Yusei Kikuchi, who was replaced by a hit ball on his right knee in the match against the Angels on the 5th, was bruised on his right knee.
Pitcher Kikuchi was a good pitcher on the day, pitching in the starting lineup and taking eight strikeouts by the fourth inning, but in the fifth inning, Angels' 9th Fletcher player's pitcher's return hit near the right knee in the scene of no-out first base. I hit him directly and fell to the ground with pain and was replaced as it was.
