Pacific League: Orix 4-6 Lotte (25th, Kyocera Dome)
Lotte has finished in last place for the first time in eight years since 2017.
The starting boss, who won his third win with a runs in the sixth inning, responded with six runs and won his first four consecutive wins of the season. However, Seibu win to Nippon-Ham, so the bottom was decided.
In the opening match against Softbank (Mizuho PayPay), they got off to a great start with three straight wins, the first time in 13 years since 2012, but then they lost momentum. By early July, their chances of winning the championship on their own had disappeared. By August 29th, their chances of winning the championship had also disappeared.
After the match, Coach Yoshii said, “This is the result. We will accept it and aim to win all the remaining matches.”
