On the 5th (6th Japan time), Dodgers’ Otani played catch and pitched long distances in Washington, D.C., before the game against the Nationals, and then made preparations for the game against the Blue Jays in Toronto on the 8th (9th, Japan time). On this day, Otani appeared on the field even though it was announced that the start time of the game would be delayed due to rain. Even though he was drenched in the heavy rain, he threw a powerful ball with good control as usual against the bullpen catcher.
