◆Exhibition game: Seibu Lions vs. DeNA (22nd, Belluna Dome)

Seibu Lions 's fifth pitcher, Wingenter (31), was forced to leave the game due to an emergency.

He took the mound as the 5th in the 8th inning with 2 runs behind. He missed the leadoff hitter Mimori and slashed it with a struck out, and after throwing the 10th pitch to Kyoda, he showed a gesture of calling the trainer with catcher himself and returned to the bench. Instead, Shota Hamaya pitcher (27) went up.

The tall right-hander was a key part of the team's win formula last season. The team has seen Taira, who served as closer last season, return to the starting rotation. Yamada, who was also a key part of win formula, is expected to miss the start of the season due to a right elbow injury, and if Wingenter also has to leave, it will be a major blow.
