The third round of the Nippon Life Central League-Pacific League Interleague Series 2025, between Yokohama DeNA and Hokkaido Nippon-Ham will be held at Yokohama Stadium from 2:00 p.m. on June 8th.
[Match record] Yokohama DeNA (2nd place in the Central League) vs. Hokkaido Nippon-Ham (1st place in the Pacific League) 1 win, 1 loss
[Scheduled starting pitchers]
Yokohama DeNA: pitcher Yutaro Ishida: 5 games, 1 win, 1 loss, ERA 3.18
Hokkaido Nippon-Ham pitcher Shoma Kanemura 4 wins, 2 losses in 7 games, ERA 1.90
Hokkaido Nippon-Ham ‘s starting pitcher, Shoma Kanemura, will be pitching after a 15-day break. In his last appearance (May 23rd against Tohoku Rakuten), he recorded his third shutout game win of the season. Last season, he pitched well against Yokohama DeNA, giving up 5 hit 2 runs in 8 innings, but the game was still a draw. He will be looking to pitch long inning in this game as well, and make a difference in the game. Also, Yokohama DeNA’s Watarai Takaki has had multiple hit in two consecutive games, so he is a player to watch out for in this series.
In the batting lineup, Kotaro Kiyomiya recorded multiple hit for the first time in seven games since the match against Chiba Lotte on May 30. Although he joined the team in the middle of the interleague games last season, he had a good batting average of .294. Can he improve his condition further and lead the team with his batting?
