Seibu 's pitcher Mitsunari Takahashi gave up 9 hit 2 runs in 6 innings, marking his 4th loss of the season. The team is winless in 16 interleague games, and their losing streak in interleague games, which continues to break the NPB's worst record, has now reached 12.

In the first round, the team started with a three-way tie, but after that, it was a tough game with inning runner on their backs. Trailing 1-0 with two outs in the fourth inning, he allowed sacrifice fly to tie the game at third base, and with two outs in the sixth, Kobayashi hit an RBI single between center fielder and short stop to end the inning.

At bat, with two outs and a runner on second base in the second inning, he sprinted hard and swung at Akahoshi's 125 km/h curveball, hitting an infield hit to shortstop for his first hit in his 11th year as a pro.

The interleague games have been on an 11-game losing streak since the game against Yakult (Jingu) on June 4, 2021, breaking the NPB's worst record. The season's losing streak ended at 13 on April 29 against Rakuten (Belluna D), but another losing streak has yet to be stopped.
