Pacific League Nippon-Ham 6-5 Orix (20th, ES CON FIELD)
Orix lost to 2nd place Nippon-Ham in a row, and it was the first loss in two cards. In the second inning with a one-run lead, Nakagawa soloed No. 11. He recorded his first 3 consecutive Home Run in his 7th year as a professional, and in the 6th inning chasing 2 runs, he tied the score with Sugimoto’s No. 11 solo. However, the relief team miscalculated. Immediately after that, in the 6th inning, Yamaoka, who was in third place, gave Walk two consecutive pushes from bases loaded with two outs, and spent 42 pitches without a inning.
Sato, who was his first start of the season, left the game with 2 runs in the 4th inning. “I was hit Home Run (by Mizutani and Reyes) because I was not good enough, and I have to do pitch to take it to the next level,” he reflected. Iriyama, who was in second place and was also from the same training background, also gave Reyes two runs in the 5th inning. The batting line also approached 1 run in the 8th inning chasing 2 runs, but Nishikawa fell to a ground ball with 2 outs and bases loaded.
On the 19th, closer Machado suffered a nightmarish walk-off. The team has not been able to shake off the shock, and is struggling with a 5-10 record in August.
