Shintaro Fujinami (29) of the Oakland A’s, struggling in his first year in the major leagues, recorded his 6th loss of the season before the first half was over. On the 3rd (Korean time), he started against the Miami Marlins and allowed 2 hits and 2 runs in 1 inning.안전놀이터
Fujinami was scheduled to play 1 or 2 innings as the opener on this day, but he threw 19 pitches in the first inning and passed the mound. His earned run average rose to 12.19.
Auckland, which is going to the worst this year, suffered a 0-4 loss. As of the 3rd, 12 wins and 47 losses, with a win rate of 203. It is the overwhelming win rate among the 30 major league teams.
This is the first opener appearance in the major leagues. Fujinami, who started the season as a starting pitcher, was pushed back as a midfielder as his slump continued. Although he is an opener, he started 42 days after the game against the Texas Rangers on April 22.
He was good until 2 outs in the bottom of the 1st inning. He handled the opponent’s first and second table setters with light blows.
No. 1 Luis Araez caught a foul fly by the third baseman and No. 2 Jorge Solea with a floating ball by the second baseman. He hit Araez with a fastball on the outer course at 154 km/h and Solea with a high-course fastball at 157 km/h.
After the death of the 2nd, the atmosphere changed drastically. He hit Brian Cruz in the third and got two strikes. In an advantageous ball count, a 160 km/h outside fastball led to a heavy hit. 2 out 1 base.

Then the worst happened. He threw a fast ball at 159 km/h to Jesús Sanchez, the opponent’s fourth hitter. Sanchez hit the first fastball driven into the middle of the strike zone and turned it into a two-run home run. 2-0.
Fujinami struck out No. 5 Yurieski Guriel on a miss swing with a forkball and came down the mound. The first ball thrown at Gurriel hit 163 km/h, the highest speed of the day.
Shohei Otani (29, LA Angels), Fujinami’s rival in Nippon Professional Baseball, also performed sluggishly that day.
Ohtani started against the Houston Astros and gave up 9 hits, including 2 homers, and gave up 5 runs in 6 innings. This is the most hits and most runs scored in a single game this season. He suffered his second loss of the season (5 wins), and his ERA (3.30) rose to the 3-point range.
In the first inning, he gave up a 2-run home run to opponent No. 3 Jordan Alvarez in right-middle wall, and a 2-run home run in left-middle wall to Cory Jerks in No. 8 in the 6th inning.
Ohtani, who came in as the first batter, recorded no hits and two strikeouts in four at-bats.
