Pacific League: Orix vs. Nippon-Ham (3rd, Kyocera Dome Osaka)

Orix pitcher Ren Mukunoki left the game after pitching 3 1/3 innings, giving up 8 hit 7 runs, and striking out 5 strike out. He retired all three batters in the first inning with five pitches, and struck out three in a row in the second inning. This was his first start since the April 19th game against Nippon-Ham (Kyocera Dome Osaka), and he got off to a good start.

In the third inning, hit and a hit by Hit by Pitch put the team in a pinch with runners on first and third and one out, and Ichibata hit a timely single to center field to take the lead. Then, with the bases bases loaded and two outs, Reyes hit a two-run single to left field, giving up three runs in the inning.

In the fourth inning, he gave up a solo home run to Nomura, the first batter, over the left field doble, and then with one out and a runner on second, he gave up an RBI double to Tamiya over the right field fence. With one out and runners on first and third, the second pitcher, Katayama, was called in. Katayama allowed an RBI single to Go Matsumoto, sacrifice fly to Gunji, and a two-run home run to Reyes over the center field fence, giving up seven runs for Mukugi.

He pitched a no-hit no-run pitch until there were two outs in the ninth inning, meaning his first win as a starting pitcher since the game against Nippon-Ham on July 20, 2022 (Kyocera Dome) will have to wait.
