He also hit a game-winning double in the 8th inning, marking his 2nd RBI on the day. After the game, π£οΈ “I was trying to be proactive. I’m glad I was able to catch the soft pitch well,” he said, and about his substitution, π£οΈ “I felt a little stiff when I hit the double.I thought I could go, but I was told not to push myself, so I was substituted.” It was later determined that he had a calf spasm (left and right unknown), but both he and the team consider this to be a mild symptom that will not lead to any serious injury. Furthermore, he humorously commented, “I’ll eat 100 bananas,” which is reminiscent of Munenori Kawasaki’s legendary quote π΅ “Monkey never cramps,” which made fans laugh. π Today’s results β
