Summary

Pitcher Kenta Maeda, who is with the Cubs, has been struggling in Triple-A Iowa, having a tough time in three consecutive games. In the game on the 29th, he gave up nine runs in just two innings.

Admin’s Note

Kenta Maeda’s current situation is very tough. Watching him struggle continuously in Triple-A makes me, as a fan, want to support him even more. Especially seeing young fans like Chako cheering for him really highlights his influence as a player. I hope to see him recover and shine again in the majors, and I’m looking forward to his next start. I also want to think about what we, as fans, can do to support him during this difficult time.
