◆パ・リーグ　ソフトバンク２―３楽天（１４日・みずほペイペイドーム）

Softbank Hawks 's pitcher Roberto Osuna made his first appearance of the season in the 7th inning and closer the opposing team runs for one inning.

On this day, the right-hander, who was registered with the first team, immediately went up to mound in the 7th inning with a one-run deficit. Starting with No. 3 Tatsuki, Rakuten Eagles batting line was closer to 3 out with 11 pitches, and Murabayashi, who greeted him with 2 outs, slashed with a 152 km fastball from 1 ball 2 strike to a struck out swing in the air.

Osuna, who made his debut in the team's 15th game, reflected on the experience with deep emotion, saying, "I'm so happy to be able to play alongside my teammates in the first team. I'm very grateful to have been given this opportunity again." In the open games, he appeared in eight games, pitching a total of eight innings and giving up four runs with ERA of 4.50. He missed out on making the opening day roster, and discussions have been held with the team regarding how he will be used, but he promised to give it his all, saying, "I'll pitch whenever Manager Kokubo or Coach Kurano asks me to. The number of innings or the score difference doesn't matter."
