A great pitch in the enemy’s territory with great cheers “The wind was blowing so much, so I used a lot of sliders.”
Padres 7-1 Mets (wild card, 8th Japan time, New York)
Padres pitcher Yu Darvish started the first game of the Wild Card (WC) series against the Mets on the 7th (Japan time 8th), and scored the first victory in five years in the playoffs with a good pitching of 7 hits and 1 run. . The team advanced to the district series. The right-hander who decorated the front line said, “I was this age, and I threw with pride, not when I was nervous to be able to pitch with a pitcher who would be inducted into the Hall of Fame at the wonderful ballpark of the Mets in New York.” I looked back. The main questions and answers after the game are as follows.
–A trainer walked up to the mound in the 7th inning.
“The mound is very hard, and there are days games in particular, but it is on the side of the big toe (on the right foot). It was out and the spike was bleeding, so I was in a state of fighting the pain.”
–How are you today?
“It wasn’t very good. I had a bit of a thumb, and I couldn’t take the plunge to make the final release. It was just very windy, so I did a lot of sliders.”
