◆Nippon Life Insurance Central vs Pacific League Interleague Series 2025 Hiroshima vs Seibu (7th, Mazda Stadium)
Starting pitcher Tatsuya Imai gave up three runs for the first time in his 11th game this season.
With the score at 0-2 and one out in the sixth inning, and count at 1-2, Sakakura hit a 150 km/h fastball, sending it into the right field stands for his second solo home run.
In the first inning, with two outs and a runner on first, Montero hit a timely doble that hit the right-center wall to give the team the lead. In the third inning, a hit by Hit by Pitch and a hit put runners on first and second with one out, and after allowing Shozono to steal third base, they again lost a run on sacrifice fly by Montero.
He has pitched in 10 games so far this season, with ERA. He was an ace pitcher who had made 16 consecutive high-quality starts (HQS = 7 or more innings with 2 or fewer earned runs) since last season, but that streak has come to an end.
