☆ Rakuten vs. Orix (18:00, Rakuten Mobile) Rakuten = Shoji, Orix = Kuri
Orix will play a three-game series against Rakuten starting on the 22nd. On the 21st, they won a landslide victory over second-place Nippon-Ham 10-0, on the road. Nakagawa hit Home Run over the left field fence off Kono in his third at-bat in the fifth inning, marking his fourth consecutive Home Run since the August 17th game Seibu (Kyocera D Osaka). The professional baseball record for consecutive games Home Run is seven, set by Oh Sadaharu (The Giants) in 1972 and Bass (Hanshin Tigers) in 1986, but the longest streak for the team is six games by Ishimine Kazuhiko in 1987. They're two games away from that milestone. The following are the team's players who have hit Home Run in five or more consecutive games:
Game = Batting Period
6. Kazuhiko Ishimine, September 2-10, 1987
5 = Boomers, September 6-11, 1987
5 = Boomers, April 9-16, 1989
5 = Sheldon July 10-19, 2002
If Nakagawa extends his streak to five games, he will be the fourth player and fifth player to do so.
