Some Japanese baseball for ya

 There's a Japanese pitcher by the name of Roki Sasaki who: threw a perfect game on April 10th, and threw 8 innings of perfect baseball before getting pulled after throwing 102 pitches (that happened not long ago in MLB. Why would anyone do that is beyond me) a week later That is 51 consecutive batters retired. Yesterday, the first pitch vs the Orix Buffalos, he gives up a hit. Oh yeah, in those 51 straight batters Sasaki retired, 33 of them were strikeouts. Wow. Remarkable pitching performance.
