◆ Pacific League Rakuten 2-5 Nippon-Ham (8th, Rakuten Mobile)
Masaru Fujii pitcher, who started the game, threw pitch with runner and a low pitch, tossing five innings and going 5 hit 4 strike out 2 runs with no wins. He took the lead with a two-run Hideto Asamura infielder in the second inning, but was disappointed when he gave up a game-tying two-run shot in the fourth, saying, "I'm sorry that I was hit by a home run and caught up with the first run in the home run."
Manager Hajime Miki said, "I don't think he was in very good condition, but he persevered and made the game." He was initially assigned as the starting pitcher for the home opening game, but due to rain, this was his first appearance of the season. He will aim for his first win in his next appearance.
