In order to welcome the opening series of Major League Baseball Tokyo Overseas held at Tokyo Dome on March 18-19, the Chicago Cubs first played a warm-up match with the Japanese Professional Baseball Hanshin Tigers today (15th), but the Cubs were perfectly suppressed by the Hanshin Tigers' 20-year-old Men Bee Kairen in 5 innings, and finally the Cubs were defeated by the Hanshin Tigers 0-3.

The Hanshin Tigers today sent the 20-year-old left-handed man named No. 2 in the 2022 Draft, but he didn't expect the Men to be no less than the big league-level line, and in the five innings of the main pitch, the Cubs hit 15 up and 15 times, neither knocked out any hits nor lost points, and after the game, the Cubs coach Craig Counsell was full of praise.

On the other hand, the Cubs adopted a pitcher wheel battle strategy in this game, but they were found a breakthrough by the Tigers in 3 times, and Ryutaro Umeno and Koji Konmoto played one long game after another, helping the Hanshin Tigers take the lead in scoring 1 point, and in the next 4 innings, the Hanshin Tigers relied on the left field second base hit by Ukyo Maekawa to hit back the second point, and also scored another 1 point in the 5th inning, taking a 3-0 lead.

The Bears are suspected to be still adjusting to the jet lag and the venue, and in the first 5 innings, only Miguel Amaya, Seiya Suzuki and Michael Busch knocked out 3 hits, and finally ended up with a complete seal.

After the game, I couldn't hide my joy, and I said happily that I was really happy, I felt that the time passed quickly, there was no tension at all, and I just enjoyed the game." However, despite his good performance, he believes that there is still room for improvement, especially in the face of Seiya Suzuki's play, "Although I didn't get hit, in fact, every shot was a very solid shot, and I really have to thank my teammates for being out, and I feel like I need to improve by one or even two levels."

CounsellI was also impressed by the support culture in Japan, especially the deafening cheers of Hanshin fans in the outfield, "They seem to be enjoying the game very much and loving this team with passion."
