Yusei Kikuchi, a pitcher of the Blue Jays in the major leagues, started the game against the Tigers for the first time in about three weeks and scored one goal in five innings, scoring his fourth win.
On the 28th, pitcher Kikuchi returned from the injured list and started the game against the Tigers in his hometown of Toronto.
He was the first starter since the 5th of this month and suddenly got a two-base hit by the lead batter, but he refused to follow and survived the rising pinch.
He was first hit by a solo home run in the second inning, but in the fourth inning immediately after the team caught up with the tie, he held it down with three people for the first time in the game, and behind the scenes, the team won two points.
In the 5th inning, he decided to lower the fastball and slider to take two strikeouts in a row, held down with three people and got off the mound, and returned to the pitch with one goal in the fifth inning.
The number of balls was 67, and there were two hits and one foreball, which was a challenge for taking five strikeouts.
The Blue Jays defended the lead and won 5-3, with Kikuchi becoming the winning pitcher for the first time in about a month since the 30th of last month, with a record of 4-5 and an ERA of 4.89 this season.
