Dropped out with 1 goal in 2 innings due to rain interruption “I think it’s useless to think too much”
■ Angels 5-4 Red Sox (18th Japan time, Boston)
On the 17th (Japan time 18th), Angels pitcher Shohei Otani participated in the match once morest the Red Sox at the same time as the “second pitcher”, but his third win this season was postponed. He had a rain break of 1 hour and 25 minutes during the 3rd inning, and dropped out following allowing no hits and 1 run in the 2nd inning. The ERA of 0.47, which was the top of the major, became 0.86, and it retreated to 4th in the major (4th in the league). Still, the bat is the 5th multi-hit this season. He contributed to the team’s runaway win.
—The pitch was shortened because of the rain.
“I can’t help it anymore, so I think it can’t be helped to think regarding it too much.”
Q: Did you volunteer to pitch following the rain stop?
“I thought I might go, but I didn’t know how long the gap would be, so I decided to talk regarding it inside.”
――How difficult is this environment as a pitcher?
“I don’t know, first of all, (the start of the game) was very early, rather than rain.
――What was the condition of the ball itself up to the second inning?
“I think the ball itself wasn’t bad. It was good to go straight following two strikes. I think that’s the only place.”
–This is your second pitch at Fenway Park. What is your impression of the stadium?
“It’s my favorite stadium, so it’s easy to throw on the mound. Well, today, including the weather, I wasn’t in a situation where I might enjoy it. It’s my favorite stadium, so I’m always looking forward to it.”
