It turned out to be his only loss in the United States major leagues. He had another milestone event in Houston in 1964. He pitched in the game that was Larry Dierker's first major league start, September 22nd, 1964, although Dierker only lasted a couple of innings and was gone by the time Murakami came into the game. Murakami notched his first major league save in that game, Giants defeating the Houston Colt .45s, 7-1.
