太空人日籍投手今井達也轉任後援後首登板，就演出中繼3局無安打無失分且無四壞保送，並連讓5打者揮空三振的完美內容封鎖對方打線，雖然太空人最終仍以1比3不敵藍鳥，但似乎找到今井達也的使用說明書。
太空人7局以1比3落後的局面下，派今井達也接替登板，他一上來就讓3名藍鳥打者全敲出飛球出局，8局更是以招牌滑球先後三振強打小葛雷諾（Vladimir Guerrero Jr.）與同胞岡本和真，9局又連續K掉「春天哥」史普林格（George Springer）、柯克（Alejandro Kirk）與桑契斯（Ali Sánchez）收工。
今井達也是在上周末對遊騎兵系列賽前接獲球隊通知由先發轉任後援，本季他先發15場拿下6勝4敗、防禦率5.83，表現大起大落，前一場先發對天使只投0.2局就失2分。
今天賽後今井達也表示：「雖然有不習慣的地方，但能展現出奪三振的實力，我覺得很棒！」這場比賽他共用34球有26顆好球，展現出良好的控球壓制力，他說自己必須時時刻刻專注攻擊好球帶，「這樣才不會留下遺憾。」今井達也說接下來的目標就是要能維持這樣的表現。
