​Hokkaido Nippon-Ham starter Kota Tatsu pitcher earned his fifth win of the season in his first professional complete game in his last start. Since his debut, he has won six games in a row, setting a new professional baseball record, and although he has not reached the innings pitched regulation, he has a good ERA of 0.64. In this match, we want to break the winning streak with pitch trying to turn the opponent’s batting line.

On the other hand, Tohoku Rakuten will be Masaru Fujii pitcher start. In his last start (June 29, Orix), he was hit by consecutive bullets in the first inning, but after that, he recovered and showed off his pitch to close out key points. He hit 5 Walk 3 strike out 2 runs in seven innings to earn his third win of the season and help his team stop its losing streak. Can the Cards inspire a struggling batting lineup with 8 hit 2 runs scored with his own strong pitching?
