Poor Shunsuke.
In his last start, he gave up like 5 hits, with only a sayonara solo shot to Shibahara in a 1-0 loss to Softbank. That time it was Sugiuchi, this time it was Darvish. The poor fellow just has some bad luck in these great pitching duels.

About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

For Lotte, Saburo led off the second with a base hit, then Benny was hit by a pitch. Benny was erased on a double play, and Saburo went on to be the only Marine left on base the entire game. Darvish struck out 10 Marines in the process.
In his hero interview regarding the fast pace of the game, Darvish commented that with a day game tomorrow he wanted to finish early.
Of course, that quick pace was helped a great deal by excellent pitching by Watanabe Shunsuke. The submariner allowed just 4 hits through 8 innings, striking out 4 and walking 1. To his detriment, with two down in the 6th inning, Tanaka singled to center and Inaba homered to right. The Fighters won 2-0.
