Astros starter Tatsuya Imai admits nerves in major league debut against Angels

Though Tatsuya Imai made more than 100 starts in eight seasons playing professionally in Japan, he admitted to having a case of the jitters Sunday in his major league debut for the Houston Astros. “I went out there looking to have fun, but with that said, it’s a different environment from the time I was in Japan,” he said in Japanese through a translator. Imai allowed three hits and four runs with four walks and four strikeouts in 2 2/3 innings in Houston’s 9-7 win over the Los Angeles Angels.
