Despite this loss, Imanaga's season record remains strong at 7-4 with a 2.40 ERA in 13 starts, with two more games in the series upcoming.
"He just didn't have anything tonight and they made him pay for it. Stuff wasn't crisp. It wasn't good."
"I need to work on my skills. I've had that in the past where maybe physically I don't feel 100% or at my A-game, but I still manage to figure out ways to compete."
