goes to johjima. unfortunately, both iwamura and ichiro couldn’t keep the inning going.
 
end of three, still no score.

iwakuma’s pitches must be working, he just completely sawed off the number 8 hitter’s bat.
 
i think its 35 pitches for iwakuma through 3 innings of work.

3 up, 3 down for japan. japan really isn’t doing a good job of stretching out their abs. i think it’s 21 pitches through 2 innings.
 
good game so far though.

murata just made a great play over at third to end the inning. 3 up, 3 down.
 
japan coming up to bat, and who else to lead things off but murata.
