Pacific League Nippon-Ham 0-10 Orix (21st, Escon)
Nippon-Ham suffered a shutout game loss to Orix, giving up 10 hit 10 runs, widening the gap with the leader, Softbank, to 3.5 games. Manager Tsuyoshi Shinjo smiled and said, “On days like this, I go to the sauna and oxygen capsule to get myself in shape.”
After the game had become a big lead in the middle of the game, the team benched the in-form Reyes and Nomura and brought in bench members. “Fushimi hit, Arizono hit, and Narama drew walk, so let’s look at this as a positive. I’m not as mentally tired as I would be in a close game, so I can go into tomorrow,” he said, looking forward to the head-to-head match starting on the 22nd.
The team is currently trailing the league leaders, Softbank, with a record of 7 wins and 12 losses this season. “I think there’s pressure, but we’ll do our best to get 2 wins and 1 loss. I’d like to get three, but I don’t think it’ll be that easy. 2 wins and 1 loss would be best. They (Softbank) have more experience, but I want to get a winning record and turn the tables. The players have no choice but to do it. I have to believe in the players and seize this opportunity. I think it’ll be a tense match,” he said, expressing his hopes. Finally, he concluded by saying, “I want to have an interesting game that will write a good article about.”
