◆ Nippon-Ham Red vs. White Game (7th, Nago)

Daiki Kikuchi, pitcher transferred from the Taiki Kikuchi The Giants to Nippon-Ham through the active player draft, made his first appearance in a game since the transfer. He pitched one inning, giving runs two hit and one strike out while striking out one batter, with his fastest pitch reaching 147 km/h.

After going up mound in the 2nd inning, Arizono led off with a fly to center field. However, he allowed Shindo to hit a left-field doble single to left field, and Kamikawabata was closer hit by a pitch to third base, but allowed Yazawa to hit a right-field single to right field. The next Imagawa missed breaking ball and made it struck out, but got off mound with regret.
