The Tokyo Giants, that is...He threw a complete game shutout.
I didn't even realize he went to Japan to play, just turned on the TV when I got home and the Hiroshima Carp were playing the Tokyo Giants. I usually just zone out because Japanese announcers are awful, but the announcers kept saying "Lewis" and "Texas Rangers" so I turned around and sure enough it was the 9th inning and he was finishing up a complete game shutout.
There's a chance I'm misenterpreting the stats (I don't like reading Chinese characters), but I believe his final line was:
9 IP / 6 hits / 0 BB / 6 K
He threw 105 pitches.
Always nice to see former Rangers finding success.
I wish the local team where I live (Fukuoka Softbank Hawks) had Colby Lewis. We got CJ Nitkowski instead!
BTW, here's the boxscore if anyone is interested (it's in Japanese):

Shutting out the Tokyo Giants
is probably more impressive than shutting out the SF Giants with their lineup…

Giants have 2 young starters with ace stuff
Which helps when your lineup is on pace to be the worst seen in the MLB since the 70s.

Do you know who was their starting SS?
Brian Bocock. That’s right, Brian freaking Bocock. I’ll give you a minute to let that sink in.

Great for Colby!
Never was a bad guy, never screwed up, never failed to show up…he just got hurt.
Let’s hope he makes it back to MLB.
...it's the weekend, so why the hell not?
