Starting Lineup: Ryota Takinaka pitcher is on a four-game losing streak. Last week, he lost the game against Yokohama DeNA, giving up five hit three runs (two earned runs) in 6.2 innings. This is his first appearance against Tokyo Yakult since 2022, when he gave up six runs in five innings. Will he be able to toy with the Tokyo Yakult batting line and get his first win in two months?

 Ryosuke Tatsumi The player recorded hit in seven consecutive games. In the first game of the series, he hit doble to left center in the 10th extra inning, and had two hit in four At Bat. I would like to continue this good performance and improve my condition even more.
