◆ Pacific League Orix 8-6 Lotte (4th, Hotto Motto Kobe)

Orix manager Mamoru Kishida explained the condition of Kurebayashi, who was substituted due to injury. The starting short stop was hit Hit by Pitch near his left shin with one out and a runner on first in the sixth inning, and was unable to return to the bench on his own. "It wasn't a bone or anything, it seems to have been a muscle. I replaced him today to be on the safe side," he emphasized. Mainstays Nishikawa and Oshiro were injured, and a long absence is inevitable. At the moment, it appears that the injury is minor, and the plan is to monitor Kurebayashi's progress and decide whether he will play in the game, saying, "It depends on how he is tomorrow."
