◆ Pacific League Lotte vs Rakuten (7th, Zozo Marine)
Lotte pitcher Brian Sammons, making his first appearance and first start in Japan, left the game after two innings, giving up one hit, five Walk one runs.
Before his NPB debut, the left-hander said, "I want to pitch well in the sixth inning," but he showed insecurity in his control from the start. In the first inning, he walked two Walk, putting him in a pinch with runners on first and second with two outs. He managed to get out of this by getting Abe to hit a grounder to third, but in the second Walk, he walked two batters and had runner on first and third with two outs, and allowed Muneyama to hit a timely single to left field.
He threw 49 pitches in the 2nd inning and was hit by only one hit pitch, but he totaled 5 Walk. His teammates had scored 3 runs by the 2nd inning to take the lead, but from the 3rd inning, he gave up the 2nd Shuta Takano pitcher to mound and did not get his first win right for the first time on the board.
