Dodgers fall Hanshin Tigers in Japan in the last TuneUp

Tokyo – Perhaps the Hanshin tiger are the true evil empire of the baseball.

One day after the Japanese team, which plays in the Nippon Professional Baseball League, excluded the Chicago Cubs in an exhibition in the Tokyo Dome, they did the same to the Dodgers on Sunday and won 3-0 in the Finalt TuneUp of the Dodgers before their season opening series here against the Cubs.

Behind an excellent start of Hiroto Saiki, the tigers based in Osaka only gave up the fifth inning when Max Muncy set a single.

Until then, the Tiger had a 3-0 lead, with the friendly approval of a fourth Inning Homer from Teruaki Sato by Dodgers Starter Blake Snell.

The victory was interrupted by a loud amount of Tigers who traveled to Tokyo, with loud chants on the dome echoed every time the team fought.

For the Dodgers, however, the actual focus came before the game, when Shortstop Mookie Betts-der is questionable for the season opening competitions on Tuesday and Wednesday due to an illness, went through the game and the field-drills before the game.

On several occasions, beds looked visibly tired when they took floor balls. And after the game, Dodger's manager Dave Roberts admitted that beds “showed some tiredness”.

Roberts did not sound optimistic about the likelihood that beds on the opening day on the opening day on the opening day.

“He didn't take live bats or played games [since we’ve arrived in Japan]”Said Roberts. “We don't want to put him in a position to be hurt.”
