Professional baseball pitcher Kaima Taira of Seibu achieved 34 consecutive games without goals in the Pacific League record in the match against Lotte at MetLife Dome.
In the game on the 14th of this month, pitcher Taira kept one inning in nine innings to zero and scored no goals in 33 consecutive games, leaving one more in the Pacific League record.
Then, on the 20th, he went up to the mound as the fifth player from the 8th inning, 2 outs, 1st base and 3rd base with a 3-2 and 1-point lead in the match against Lotte at MetLife Dome.
Pitcher Taira was pushed out with two consecutive walks and was tied, but he beat the third batter to a foul fly.
One point from the extruded walk was not a runner from Taira, and no goal was scored.
As a result, Pitcher Taira scored no goals in 34 consecutive games, lining up with the Pacific League record marked by Seibu’s Kiyoshi Toyoda in 2003 18 years ago and Orix’s Motoki Higa in 2014 seven years ago. I was surprised.
Pitcher Taira has also updated his own record of no runs in consecutive games since the opening, and from now on, 15 years ago, in 2006, Kyuji Fujikawa of the Hanshin Tigers marked 38 consecutive games of no runs. You will be aiming for an update.
After the match, pitcher Taira said, “I don’t feel so good because I was tied, but I would like to continue to build up one match at a time when I reach the mound.”
