◆ Pacific League League: Lotte vs. Nippon-Ham (16th, ZOZO Marine Stadium)

Lotte's starting pitcher, Yuto Kimura was pulled after four innings, having given up four hit and three runs. This was his third appearance of the season, but his first win of the season remains elusive. His fastest pitch was 152 km/h.

In the third inning, with no outs and runners on first and third, Mizuno hit sacrifice fly to give the opposing team the lead, and then another runs was scored. The offense managed to take the lead once, but in the fourth inning, with two outs and a one-run lead, Yazawa hit a 145 km/h fastball into the right-center field stands, tying the game.

In his previous start on the 7th Orix Buffaloes, he pitched well, allowing only 4 hit 1 runs in 6 innings, but did not get the win or the loss. Before the game, he had expressed his determination, saying, "I will focus on doing my best pitching, and I will throw with all my might to contribute to the team's win and bring good momentum to the team," but it did not lead to his first win of the season.
