◆ Pacific League 10-0 Seibu Lions (3rd, ZOZO Marine Stadium)

Lotte win Seibu Lions with a shutout relay, preventing a three-game sweep against the same opponent and reducing their deficit to three games.

The starting pitcher, second-round draft pick rookie Kaito Mori), delivered a brilliant performance. His powerful fastball and sharp two-two seam fastball allowed him to pitch seven scoreless innings, runs only six hit. He threw his longest inning and most pitches (103) since turning pro, securing his second win of the season.

The offense took an early lead in the first inning with two runs thanks to timely hits from Polanco and Aito. In the second inning, Kyota Fujiwara hit his second home run of the season, a two-run shot over the right field fence. In the third and fifth innings, Atsuki Tomosugi batting seventh, added runs with two consecutive RBI hits, giving Mori a lead.

From the 4th, The Marines will move to Kyocera Dome, the opposing team's home field, to face Orix Buffaloes in a three-game series. This was a big win that will give the team momentum.
