He will be showing his true potential in his favorite night game, his first since the match Rakuten on May 23rd (Rakuten Mobile).
In the three games he has started in night games this season, he has won three. 2 shutout game to 1 runs complete game, which is almost perfect, and ERA is also 0.33. On the other hand, in the seven games he has started in day games, he is 1-3 with one win shutout game and one loss ERA at 4.50. He is determined to win the night games, saying, "It's a long time after I wake up, so I can take my time getting up.
All three of his appearances in June were on Sunday day games, with a record of 0 wins and 1 loss, and ERA 6.00. "I haven't been able to pitch the way I wanted to, and I feel like I'm worrying too much." He will simply organize his mind and take on Softbank batting lineup, such as reviewing his form.
Regarding the opposing team's batting line-up, which is on a roll after winning the interleague games, Yamaguchi said, "They're using their feet, they're hitting long balls, and they're hitting single hit. I want to be conscious that I can't let runner on Walk or pitch in a way that destroys me." He will once again prove his worth among the strong starting pitchers. (Yamaguchi Yasushi)
