Giants’ pitcher， Sugano， cried over the referee’s decision， but took a grown-up approach， saying， “There’s no point in saying it， thinking about it， or getting annoyed，” and “The fact that we’re in an advantageous position remains unchanged．”

“Hanshin 1-0 Giants” (22nd, Koshien Stadium)
Giants’ Sugano, who has the most wins in the league with 14, showed his best pitching performance by throwing 125 pitches, the most this season, but the batting line was shut out and lost the game. The one run they allowed in the eighth inning was in vain, and they now sit just one game behind second-place Hanshin. Sugano said, “I knew how important today’s game was, and I wanted to pitch responsibly until the end,” and continued, “I don’t feel particularly tired. There’s no need to be pessimistic (just because we lost), and our advantage hasn’t changed,” he said, trying to look forward. The only run they gave up came in the third inning, when Saiki’s sacrifice bunt was not called a strikeout. With the count at two strikes, and then with one ball and two strikes, Saiki attempted to bunt on two consecutive pitches and appeared to swing and miss, but the call was no swing. The right-hand man said, “If you keep doing it, many things will happen. The referees know it’s an important game. Rather than thinking about all those things, I think it’s more meaningful to just switch your mind. Having pitched in hundreds of games, I have experienced many times that it was definitely a strike and the batter was definitely swinging. It’s an important strike for the pitcher, but there’s no point in saying anything or thinking about it, and there’s no point in getting annoyed,” he said, showing a mature response of accepting the umpires’ decision.
