Twins pitcher Kenta Maeda started the 29th (30th time in Japan) in the first round of the wild-card series (third round) with the Astros at his base. He was the first PO starter in 4 years since 16 years in the Dodgers era, showing his 5 longest innings, 5 strikes, 3 4 balls, 2 hits and no runs, and a tenacious pitch. He went with the forehand of a winning pitcher, but the rescue pitcher was hit and did not become a winning star. The team lost 1-4 and lost 17 in a row in the postseason. The worst four sports records were set in North America. Maeda recalled: “There was pressure to start in the postseason for the first time in a long time. The number of balls increased up to 5 times. It would have been better if the number of balls was a little less.”

■ Astros 4-1 Twins (WC series, 30 days, Japan time, Minnesota)
[PR]The original content of the players representing the Se League also gives energy to change the world. Special site “JERA Se League”Twins pitcher Kenta Maeda started the 29th (30th time in Japan) in the first round of the wild-card series (third round) with the Astros at his base. He was the first PO starter in 4 years since 16 years in the Dodgers era, showing his 5 longest innings, 5 strikes, 3 4 balls, 2 hits and no runs, and a tenacious pitch. He went with the forehand of a winning pitcher, but the rescue pitcher got hit and did not become a winning star. The team lost 1-4 and lost 17 in a row in the postseason. The worst four sports records were set in North America. Maeda recalled: “I was under pressure to start in the postseason for the first time in a long time. The number of balls went up to 5 times. I wish I had a little less.”
It was a tough pitch. The first time around, he allowed Brantley to hit a second base on the left wing line from the second kill, but it killed Bregman in a simple way. In the second inning, he gave Correa a four-ball, but Redick rocked. The third time it was limited to three people. In the fourth inning, which scored 1 point up front, Tucker hit the right front and made 2 bases on 2 4 balls, but rocked Redick with a slider. I screamed on the mound. “I was just thinking about holding it down. I felt like I was going to finish this hitter. I had a strong feeling of striking a strike, so I think I was able to pitch with a sense of calm,” he recalled.
In the fifth inning 10 balls were used and 3 players retired. Despite struggling to control the ball, he threw 91 balls (52 strikes) in the fifth inning and had 5 strikes, 3 4s, 2 hits and no runs. “I’m glad I was able to finish the pitch without a run. It was better to throw a long inning, but I felt too much.” It is the first time in 16 years since Johann Santana in 2004 that the team’s starting pitcher PO kept the score at zero. The starter is said to have pitched more than five times to keep the scoreboard clear, which is the sixth person in team history since the Senator era in 1901.
It is the first time in 1,440 days since Oct. 20, 2016 during the Dodgers era that begins in the postseason. If he wins, he will be the first star in three years in the postseason, and his first victory in the starting lineup, but he was caught in the seventh inning with a 1-point lead, and in the ninth inning tied, fifth right-hander Lomo scored. 3 goals. The batting line lacked connection with 4 hits. I couldn’t stop the big losing streak that started in the second round of the district series with the Yankees in 2004. “It’s important to change your mind and win tomorrow. By winning tomorrow, you can gain momentum in the next game. Anyway, we have to do it together, “he turned desperately forward.
