Pacific League: Orix vs Seibu (1st, Kyocera Dome Osaka)
Orix of Anderson Espinoza pitcher was dropped in an emergency. After getting out of the first inning with three strikeouts, he signaled to the first base bench immediately after throwing the second pitch to Cedeño, who led off the second inning. It appeared that some kind of accident had occurred, and he was replaced by Gonda after only 15 pitches. In his second year in Japan, the right-hander has pitched in 23 games this season and has five wins (eight losses). He is a valuable member of the starting lineup, so we can only hope that his illness is minor in preparation for the CS.
