◆パ・リーグ　オリックス７―１西武（１６日・京セラドーム大阪）

Orix Buffaloes came from behind to defeat Seibu Lions, securing their second three-game sweep against the same opponent this season. This marks their eighth consecutive win at their home stadium, Kyocera Dome Osaka, their first such streak since May-June 2021. They have now moved up to second place in the standings.

Teranishi, the starter, pitched 5 hit 1 runs and 4 strike out strong pitches in 6 win innings for the first time this season. He recovered from a 6 runs KO in the middle of the 4th inning against Nippon-Ham (ES CON FIELD) on the 3rd with a solid 75 pitches. Manager Kishida said, "I'm glad we got the win. I was able to hit the inside pitch with a good awareness. I think he was throwing with intention on each pitch.

In the fourth inning, trailing by one run, with two outs and doble, short stop had been struggling with a batting average of .192 before the game and had been left out of starting line-up the previous day, showed great determination. The manager smiled and said, "I felt he showed his fighting spirit. I think it was a fantastic result."

Starting on the 17th, they will face the league leaders Softbank Hawks at Mizuho PayPay Stadium. Facing a three-game series at a venue where they suffered six straight losses to start the season last year, they tightened their resolve, saying, "We'll do our best."
