◆ Pacific League Orix 4-5 Rakuten (29th, Kyocera D Osaka)

Kuri, who joined Orix Buffaloes as a free agent from Hiroshima, pitched well in his first start since the transfer, giving up only two runs in six innings. Although he was unable to secure his first win, he gave up seven hit but still managed to make the game with 111 pitches. Nevertheless, he reflected on his five Walk, saying, "My pitching pitch was not good. There was nothing good about it, only bad things."

"I hope to tackle each hitter one by one and get outs one by one," he said as he made his debut. Although he had runner in scoring position in every inning except the fourth, he did not lose his composure. He gave up the fewest runs in the third and sixth innings, just one. Manager Kishida evaluated him, saying, "He wasn't in particularly good shape, and I think he was nervous, but he was really persistent pitch like Alen."

"This was my first time pitch in Pacific League, so I want to use it as a lesson and do better next time," said Kuri. He grabbed his first win in his new home with an undeniable pitching performance. (Nambu Shunta)
