◆ Pacific League Seibu 4-3 Nippon-Ham (17th, Belluna D)

Starting pitcher Mitsunari Takahashi gave up five hit three runs in six innings to earn his fourth win of the season.

In the first inning, with one out and runners on first and second, he gave up a three-run homer to Reyes for his 19th run of the game, but said, “I just accepted it. Once I was hit, I can’t go back, so there’s no point in looking back. I focused on the next pitch, on how to hold the next batter closer,” and continued to pitch well after that, even though he allowed runner on base. “It was a great achievement that I was able to keep the game going and pitch tenaciously until the sixth inning without letting things drag on,” he said, not letting the momentum slip away to the Nippon-Ham batting line and leading the team to win.
