◆ Pacific League Softbank 4-1 Nippon-Ham (3rd, Mizuho PayPay Dome)

Nippon-Ham manager Tsuyoshi Shinjo has ordered pitcher Shoma Kanemura, who gave up seven hit three runs in the fourth innings and suffered his fourth loss, to go to a "midsummer mini-camp."

Kanemura's fastball did not have any power, and in the second inning, Yamakawa hit a solo home run over the left field wall for his 12th of the season, and in the fourth inning, with the score tied and the bases bases loaded and two outs, he gave up a two-run single to center field to take the lead, and he was taken off mound at the end of the inning.

Manager Shinjo said of the right-handed pitcher, who has not won in his last four games, "That's not good. Take him off the roster, and for the next three or four days, run until you feel dizzy, forget about what's wrong, and just run. The ball may not go in after that running, but if you think about what comes next, I think you'll be able to find some kind of opportunity. I told him that I would like you to train in this way," urging him to sweat it out in the scorching heat at the team's second-division facility in Kamagaya, Chiba.

Kanemura said, "I was only thinking about pitching in the game, so I didn't think about the mechanics. I think it's a good time to take another good look at my body." However, it seems that he had not yet been told about the running practice, and he said with a wry smile, "I just heard about it now, is that so?"
