Yoshitomo Tsutsugo of the Major League Baseball and Shogo Akiyama of the Reds both made their first hits in the second open match on the 21st.
Pirates' Tsutsugo played in the Rays match in Port Charlotte, Florida as the 4th designated hitter and made a two-base hit to the middle right in the first at-bat twice.
He had a left fly in the second at bat in the third inning and a walk in the third at bat in the fourth inning, with one hit in two at bats.
Reds Akiyama participated in the Cubs game in Mesa, Arizona at the 3rd center, and he fell to the light fly in the first at bat and the center fly in the second at bat in the third inning, but six times. In the third at bat, he successfully put the changing ball on the bat and hit a hit that fell in front of the light, with one hit in three at bats.
Akiyama, who became the first hit in the open game, said, "I happened to hit the bat at a good angle. It feels different if I don't get one, and I'm glad."
Seiya Suzuki of the Cubs did not participate.
Pitcher Arihara, who participates in the Rangers camp as an invited player, pitched for the second time in the third match against the Guardians in Goodyear, Arizona.
He struggled with control in the first inning, hitting two walks and three hits, losing two points and being replaced by a two-out bases loaded.
Pitcher Arihara scored 5 goals because the pitcher who received the back changed all the runners, and he pitched again under the special rules of the open game.
In the first pitching of the open game, he pitched one and two-thirds innings and did not leave a result with 5 runs, and pitcher Arihara said, "It was a disappointing pitching because I could not control it. I want to go. "
