In the 6th and 7th innings, chasing 7 runs, they both created bases loaded chances, but they were not enough to push one more time. For the first time this season, both Diaz and Olivarez’s helpers, who were placed at No. 6 and No. 7, also failed as a result. walk-off 2nd place and Nippon-Ham, who won the game, were 8 games behind, and after the game, coach Mamoru Kishida lamented Soya’s poor form, saying, “We were too far away (in the early stages)…”.
In his third year as a professional, he has maintained his place in the starting rotation since the start of the season and recorded the most wins on the team with eight despite being in poor condition. “There are games where he’s been closer the whole time,” he said, praising the left-hander’s efforts. “He seems to be in a bit of a bad state. Maybe something’s a bit off. Should he be readjusted? A bit, yeah, that’s right,” he said, intending to find a way to get him back on track.
