Rookie Japanese catcher Kenji Jojima went 2-for-3 and threw out Chone Figgins in the Seattle Mariners' 6-3 loss to the Los Angeles Angels in a preseason game Monday.
Seattle Mariners catcher Kenji throws out a runner at second during a preseason game against the Los Angeles Angels.
Jojima, who had his first homer of the spring and was 3-for-5 in Saturday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, had two singles and grounded out to second for his second straight multihit game, while throwing out the 2005 American League stolen bases leader at second.
"I knew Figgins would try my arm. It was important for me to throw him out on his first attempt," Jojima said.
