Softbank Hawks pitcher Hsu Jo-Hsi left the game after 7 innings, having allowed 1 runs. In the game Rakuten Eagles on the 1st (Rakuten Eagles Mobile), he pitched 6 innings, allowing 3 hit and no runs, becoming the first Taiwanese pitcher to win his first appearance in Japan in 11 years, since Kuo Chun-Lin (Seibu Lions) in 2015. However, he was unable to achieve a 2-0 record in 2 games.
With two outs in the first inning, he hit a solo shot runs to Taiga Kojima the No. 1 draft pick in the Seibu Lions. It was his first hit of the season and his first runs in Japan. However, after that, he pitched tenaciously, mixing change-up his powerful fastball with his fastball. runner after the 2nd inning, he allowed only 1 runs while allowing each time. He played the role of a starter, but the batting lineup was unable to score Seibu Lions from Mitsunari Takahashi. I think it was a lost pitch that home run was hit. It was a waste of a pitch. After that, I think I was able to pitch well. I will reflect on today's results and work hard for my next appearance.
Hernandez took mound as the second pitcher from the 8th inning.
