Japanese NPB Tokyo Yomiuri Giants ace pitcher Shosei Togashi was "shocked" in the performance warm-up game against the MLB Major League Baseball Los Angeles Dodgers, and suffered three hits in a single game against the "Cosmic Dodgers", after the game, Giants head coach Shinnosuke Abe said, "This is a valuable experience."

Facing the world champion Dodger, Toho faced a serious challenge in the third game, and was sniped continuously by Dodger's heavy artillery, namely Michael Conforto, Shohei Ohtani, and Teoscar. Teoscar Hernández, who lost five points in a single inning, also wrote a bitter record of being hit three home runs in a single inning for the first time in his career.

Despite the heavy blows in the single inning, Toho managed to stabilize in the 5-6 innings, allowing the Dodgers hitter to go up and down three times in the second inning, and finally threw six hits in the six innings, conceded five points, and sent four strikeouts and one guarantee. After the race, he said frankly about the performance, "It was a painful but valuable experience, and I hope to use this lesson in the next races."

His ace was blown up in a single game, and the head coach of Giant Abe said, "From the beginning of the game, he didn't look very good, but in the end he corrected it and finished it smoothly. It's rare for me to lose five points in a single game, but for him it was probably a valuable experience."

The Giants hit the line and faced the Dodgers' 8 pitchers relay blockade, and it was not until the 6th inning that Yoshikawa Naoki scored a timely hit, but only 5 hits and 1 point in the whole game, which seemed to be quite weak in firepower. In particular, only one hit in the first five innings made the whole game passive, and after seven innings, it failed to pose a threat to the Dodgers pitchers.

Coach Abe said after the game, "Although we can't compare them directly, there are probably many players who feel like they can't do anything against the world's No. 1 team. I hope that everyone will realise that they are not mature enough and go into the season with that mentality."
