Victory's Banner vs. Team's Wall: Imama Shohei's 10th Win Denied Despite 7th Consecutive QS, A Baseball Story from September 9, 2025 ⚾️
I was really intrigued when I saw these news! 😥 It was truly disappointing to hear that Shohei Imama failed to achieve his 10th win despite his 7th consecutive Quality Start. The fact that this coincided with the team's batting slump, leading to a three-game losing streak, made it even more regrettable. What kind of game unfolded on September 9, 2025? Let's take a closer look together.

Hello everyone! Today, I've brought some news that baseball fans will surely find captivating. ⚾️ Especially, it's related to the performance of a familiar name to us, Shohei Imama. I was really intrigued when I saw these news.
7 Consecutive QS, Despite Brilliant Pitching, 10th Win Postponed 😥
The game played on September 9, 2025, at Nationals Park, drew great anticipation from many fans. Miami Marlins' starting pitcher Shohei Imama took the mound as usual and delivered a solid performance, allowing only 3 runs in 6 innings. This marked the continuation of his impressive streak of 7 consecutive Quality Starts (QS). A QS means a starting pitcher pitches 6 or more innings with 3 earned runs or less, and 7 consecutive QS is truly amazing, isn't it? 👍
Unfortunate 3 Runs and Team Hampered by 'Slump' 📉
However, Imama's excellent pitching did not lead to a victory on this day. The game started to unravel as he conceded 3 runs in the 6th inning. Notably, an ABEMA TIMES article pointed to the Cubs' 'lack of hitting' as the cause of the loss. The team's offense couldn't get going, preventing Imama's superb pitching from shining through. 😥
Teammate Seiya Suzuki Also Played, Recorded 1 Hit, But... 😓
Seiya Suzuki, also familiar to us, participated in this game. However, Suzuki also managed to record only one hit. Furthermore, the statistic of 29 consecutive games without a home run was also mentioned. The fact that the team as a whole struggled at bat, leading to a three-game losing streak, makes it even more regrettable.
Match Against Braves, 10th Win Denied Despite 7th Consecutive QS (September 9, 2025) 🗓️
Other articles similarly highlighted Shohei Imama's achievement of 7 consecutive QS while lamenting his failure to reach 10 wins. On September 9, 2025, in the game against the Braves, he recorded 6 innings and 3 runs, clearing his 7th consecutive QS, but his 10th win had to be postponed to a later date. The fact that the exact game time is specified makes the on-site reporting feel very vivid.
How Do Fans Feel? 🥺
Whenever I encounter news like this, as a fan, I feel a great sense of regret. 😥 The lack of team support despite Imama's consistent performance, and the fact that Suzuki's hitting slump has also occurred, weigh heavily on the fans' hearts. However, I want to commend Imama for the perseverance and fighting spirit he showed in this game as well. Although the 3 runs in the 6th inning were regrettable, his focus and ability to manage crises shown before that were undoubtedly outstanding.
Future Outlook? 🤔
Will the team's offense explode in the next game to celebrate Imama's 10th win? Will we be able to see Seiya Suzuki hit a resounding home run again? We fans are always hoping for such days and cheering them on. 💪
