On the 26th, Rakuten win the game against Softbank (Rakuten Mobile) 6-3. Starting Uchi Seiryu pitched well, allowing no runs through the seventh inning, earning his first win of the season.

Commentator Nomura Hiroki, who appeared on CS Fuji TV ONE's "Professional baseball News" broadcast on the 26th, gave Uchi's pitch a certain degree of praise, saying, "He pitched well, using slider and fork well," but also said,
