◆ SMBC Japan Series 2025 Game 3: Hanshin Tigers 1-2 Softbank (28th, Koshien)
Softbank 's starting pitcher Liván Moinelo threw 108 pitches in six innings, allowing four hit, two Walk, one runs, and four strike out, earning his first win of the series.
The team has won two straight games since the second game, with a record of 2 wins and 1 runs. After giving up one run in the first inning and handing the ball over to the relief pitchers, Moinelo said with a look of relief, "The stadium is small, so I was conscious of throwing the ball high to prevent long hits. I wanted to focus all my pitches as low as possible."
As the "ninth batter and pitcher," hit right-handed and went hitless in two At Bat, but in the third inning he caused a stir among Hanshin Tigers fans at Koshien with a foul ball near the right field pole. "I think if he'd hit a fastball it would have been home run, but he threw a lot of breaking ball," he said confidently. In the sixth inning, with two outs and runners on first and second, Imamiya made a great catch of a fly ball that was about to fall behind the shortstop, resulting in no runs. "He's a really good short stop, and his play really helped me out. I was impressed that he played well as always," he said with gratitude.
