I mightn’t take the strikeout three times in advance of the Nippon-Ham fight …
■ Lotte Nippon-Ham (17th, ZOZO Marine)
Lotte pitcher Roki Sasaki started the game once morest Nippon-Ham Fighters at ZOZO Marine Stadium on the 17th, and the continuous inning strikeouts that he had continued since the start of this season stopped at “25”. The longest Japanese record alongside pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto (Orix) in 2020. The NPB record was recorded by Sarfate (Softbank) in 201543.
A perfect start to strike out Hosokawa and Ishii from one death at a time. In the second inning, Kiyomiya at the beginning was struck out with a strikeout and set a tie record alongside Yamamoto, and Kondo, who has a good reputation for meat, also struck out with a fork. In the third inning, Nuñez at the beginning flew to the left, Usami flew to the left, and Asama flew to the left, failing to strike out. Up to 3 times, complete pitching that does not allow runners continues for 12 innings in a row.
Akira Sasaki struck out in all the innings he pitched up to twice this season, starting from the first strikeout of the Rakuten match on March 27, when he pitched Nishikawa, Tsuyoshi Yamasaki, and Asamura in three consecutive strikeouts. Has robbed. In the game once morest Orix on the 10th, which started last time, he achieved the 16th perfect game in history, and at the same time, he had 19 strikeouts in one game, which was on par with the NPB record, and 13 consecutive strikeouts, which set the NPB record for the first time in 64 years.
