Pacific League: Orix vs Seibu (2nd, Kyocera Dome Osaka)

Orix pitcher Ryuhei Sotani left the game after five innings, giving up nine hit six runs (five earned) and striking out five strike out.

In the 2nd inning, Cedeño led off with a single up the middle and gave up a Walk to Davis with one out to put runners on first and second. The next inning, Nakata gave up a doble to right field, scoring a run. With one out and two on and three outs, he allowed Yu Koga to hit a double up the middle, and after receiving a backhome run from Mugitani in the middle of the order, catcher ・Wakatsuki transferred to first base to get hitter runner ・Yu Koga out. However, this turned out to be an error throw that allowed Yu Koga to come home alive at once. In this inning, we lost four runs at once.

In the third inning, with no outs, consecutive hits and Walk put the team in a bases-bases loaded jam. With one out, Nakata hit a single to left field. In the fourth inning, Nishikawa, the first batter, reached base with doble to right-center field, and with one out, Watanabe hit a single to left field, giving up the sixth run.

The fifth inning ended with three batters, but in the sixth inning, second-string pitcher Katayama took mound. Since earning his career-high eighth win against Nippon-Ham on July 11 (ES CON FIELD), Soya has struggled in seven straight games. He was unable to secure his ninth win, his first in 83 days.
