Two large roses bloomed in my garden today.
It’s already mid-October, but it finally feels like real autumn has come.
In western Japan, they say summer days are still lingering, but this year’s heat was truly relentless.
It seems the weather will finally cool down next week — at last, the true autumn season begins.
Meanwhile, I couldn’t watch the Major League games yesterday or today because of work, but I heard Shohei Ohtani had another phenomenal performance for the Dodgers.
He pitched six scoreless innings and hit three home runs in four at-bats — a storyline almost too good to be true.
Even the news that Yamamoto threw a complete-game victory, or that Sasaki — who struggled early in the season — has come back as a strong closer, would each be dramatic enough on their own.
Yet Ohtani’s latest feat surpasses them all.
The World Series is just a week away — I can hardly wait.
