Dodgers pitcher Shohei Otani (30) started the game against the Cubs at home on the 10th (11th Japan time). The Cubs’ game against Imanaga Shota (31) was three at-bats and no hits. Throughout the game, he had no hits in four at-bats and finished with no hits in three games, and the team lost two consecutive games in the eighth inning due to painful come-from-behind losses due to mistakes such as failure and failure. After the game, he left the clubhouse just eight minutes after the game ended at 21:46.

Otani excited the stadium in his third at-bat with no runners with two outs in the fifth inning. Strong swing of the second floating slider from the first strike. The ball, which rose high at an angle of 33 degrees, extended toward the right-field seat, but fell into the glove of the right-field Bellinger who jumped in front of the fence and let out a big sigh from the fans. His distance was 374 feet (about 113.9 meters), and he was just around the corner from home run.
In the eighth inning, 3-6, the one-out runless scene was against second-place right-hander Pearson, who hit the slider on the first pitch and hit a big fly ball into the right-center field, which was also caught by a midfielder, Crew Armstrong.
