Free translation of Ohtani-san's Japanese comments About today's pitching: Though it was a tough in progress, but in the end it became a great game. Since the game had continued with 0-0 score, I pitched with the intention of not allowed any runs. I thought that if I didn't allowed, chances would come. About Fenway Park: I also like this ball park. I am grateful that I can play at the ballpark where the great player actually played the game. Having a good game is another encouragement for me.
