GLENDALE, Ariz. – Lefty Shota Imanaga didn’t quite achieve his goal for his first spring training start.
“My goal today was to not give up a home run,” he said through interpreter Edwin Stanberry. “And even though it happened, it was a good learning experience to try to figure out how that could end up being a single in front of left field.”
That lesson in and of itself will be valuable.
