Pacific League: Orix 0-9 Nippon-Ham (3rd, Kyocera Dome Osaka)
The third-place Orix suffered its 13th shutout game loss of the season, its first loss in two series. The gap with second-place Nippon-Ham has widened to 7.5 games.
Mukunoki, who was making his first start mound since April 19 against Nippon-Ham (Kyocera Dome Osaka), took his second loss in 8 hit 7 runs innings in 3 1/3 innings. “I’m disappointed that I couldn’t make a game out of it,” he said. I’m sorry to the team for giving up the game in such a short inning time.
Despite creating good opportunities for Nippon-Ham starter Ito, the batting line-up was unable to get the one hit they needed, resulting in a third win, tying the record for most wins in a single series. The pitching and batting did not mesh well, resulting in a 1-2 start to August.
