◆Nippon Life Insurance Central vs. Pacific League Interleague Play 2025 Lotte 6-4 The Giants (24th, Zozo Marine)

Lotte came from behind to beat The Giants, giving them a winning record of 10 wins and 8 losses in the interleague games, marking their first winning record in three years since 2022.

Starting pitcher Sammons gave up three runs in the first two innings, but got one back in the second inning, and tied the game with Nishikawa's two-triple in the third. In the fifth inning, Ikeda's timely doble and Oka's two-run doble gave the team the lead. In the ninth inning, with a two-run lead, fifth pitcher Nakamori found himself in a pinch with the bases loaded loaded and one out, but he got Yoshikawa out on a double play play on a grounder to second base to escape.

Young fielder such as Yamamoto, who hit 4th in all interleague games and hit 5 Home Run, and Nishikawa, who closed the interleague games with 4 consecutive multi-hit hit, are active. Nakamori, who was in charge of the 9th inning on this day, has runs allowed a run in 9 consecutive games and is on his way to becoming a "guardian deity" with his 4th save.

Although they are at the bottom of Pacific League, this season's interleague games were productive in preparation for the league games that will resume on the 27th. Manager Yoshii praised the players, saying, "I think the young players really did a great job. I feel like they're finally playing as if they belong here. We'll be facing some strong pitcher in Pacific League, so I want them to show some good enough play to bounce back," and expressed his expectations for further growth in the future.
