Pacific League Rakuten vs. Nippon-Ham (17th, Rakuten Mobile)
Nippon-Ham pitcher Hiromi Ito left the game after 99 pitches in seven innings, giving up six hit two runs. The right-hander, who has the most wins in the league with 14, was aiming for his 15th win, which would be the first time he has been with the team since Arihara in 2019, but the game will have to wait until the next game.
There was also an accident. With the score tied at 1-1 and no outs in the fourth inning, Kurokawa’s powerful return pitcher hit him directly on the toe of his left foot. He temporarily received treatment behind the bench. He returned to mound, but with one out and runners on first and second, he allowed a timely doble down the left field line to No. 6 Asamura, giving up the lead.
However, with the score at 1-2 and two outs in the eighth inning, No. 3 hitter Reyes hit a league-leading 32nd solo home run off Nishiguchi into the center field back screen, tying the game.
