Saitama Seibu 's starting pitcher was Mitsunari Takahashi pitcher. In June, he showed a steady pitch with a ERA 2.14 in three games, but he was unable to get much help and finished win. Since May 7, he is aiming for his first win in about two months. The offense was held scoreless for 7 hit in the previous day's game. It's interesting to note that the No. 1 Manaya Nishikawa player has 20 At Bat 1 hit in the last 5 games. Can he regain his form and support Mitsunari Takahashi pitcher?

Orix will be Hiroya Miyagi pitcher making his first home triumph. He faced Saitama Seibu on May 31 and pitched well in seven innings hit 10 strike out 2 runs He then went 1-runs in nine innings against pitch The Giants in June, but didn't freak out in either of his other two runs. With the help of the local community, we would like to bring win to the table.
