Imanaga started the home game against the New York Mets at Wrigley Field on the 22nd (Korea time), allowing 11 hits, one walk, and allowing 10 runs during three innings, including three homers. The Cubs lost 1:11, and Imanaga lost the game.
It is the 14th game of this season, and the number of hits, homers and runs lost in at least one pitching inning is the highest since the Major League’s debut. The previous most hit and run games were against the Milwaukee Brewers on the 30th of last month, and they lost seven runs on eight hits during four ⅓ innings.
Imanaga signed a four-year, $53 million contract with the Cubs for up to five years and $80 million through the posting system last winter. 토토사이트 순위
Having maintained an earned run average (ERA) of one point or lower by pitching in three consecutive games without allowing any earned runs in the first three games since his debut, Imanaga posted seven wins and two losses and posted an ERA of 1.89 to 2.96. Throwing 79 innings, Imanaga tied for ninth in multiple wins in the NL, eighth in ERA, 17th in strikeouts (81), 10th in WHIP (1.10), and 25th in hit rate (0.243). The rankings of pitchers in all categories dropped sharply.
The NL Rookie of the Year is competing with four players, including Imanaga, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto (6-2, 2.92, 84 strikeouts), Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Jared Jones (79 innings, 4-6, 3.76, 85 strikeouts), and San Diego Padres center fielder Jackson Merrill (0.279, 9 homers, 31 RBIs, and OPS 0.742).
He threw 74 pitches, posted a maximum speed of 92 mph in his four-seam fastballs and 90.1 mph in his average, which was 1.7 mph slower than usual. He threw 33 splitters, but his swing and miss rate was only 17 percent. He garnered three strikeouts.
The Mets are Imanaga’s second opponent since his debut. Earlier on May 2, he became a winning pitcher with seven innings of three hits and no runs against City Field. One of the concerns was that he was exposed to the Mets’ thorough analysis. He suffered a hard blow from the beginning, showing severe control difficulties.
In the top of the first inning, Imanaga allowed a left-handed double to leadoff Francisco Lindor, who gave up a walk to Brandon Nimmo, was hit by JD Martinez for a home run in the middle and allowed three runs. A 92-mile fastball thrown at the ball count of 2B1S surged to the top of his knee, leading to a 412-foot cannon flying at 106.1 miles.
Imana, who hit three more hitters, allowed two home runs and three runs in the second inning when his team was trailing 1-3. Imana, who threw an 89.5 mile fastball to first baseman Francisco Alvarez and allowed a solo home run to center-left corner, gave up a two-run shot to Nemo with two outs and a runner on the first base. Nemo’s 89.4-mile fastball went out low, getting caught properly by the bat.
He also gave up three hits in the third inning, giving up one run. Imana, who allowed a left-handed double on the ninth pitch and a bunt hit on Starling Marte from the full count to leadoff Pete Alonso, held up to two outs, but was hit by Jose Iglesias for a left-handed hit.
Imanaga, who took the mound in the fourth inning, trailing 1-7, was replaced by Hayden Wesneski after giving one run by hitting Lindor with a double to the left, Nemo’s right-handed hit and Martinez’s heavy hit. Wesneski allowed a point when he grounded Marte to shortstop after walking Alonso, and he got a two-run right-handed hit by Iglesias with two outs, bringing Imina’s loss to 10.
