Rakuten Eagles 's Kosei Shoji pitcher (25) gave up 5 hit 2 runs in 7 innings, earning his 4th win of the season, tying him for the league lead.

I squeezed it out. Shoji finally screwed him down with force. 7 innings with 2 outs behind 1 run bases loaded. "I put my spirit into it." count From 1-2, he threw a 149 km fastball to a low outside angle and finished Hosokawa with a fly to the left. He threw 123 pitches, which is his highest number of pitches. He was hit by two solo shots, but he said, "I was able to make a game as if I was in bad condition," and summarized it in the 7th inning 5 hit 2 runs.

Responding to the right-hander's fighting spirit, Asamura hit a game-winning two-run homer in the very next inning. "That's what you'd expect. He's such a reliable senior player." In his first home appearance of the season, he earned his fourth win, tying him for the league lead. He made a significant contribution to the team's three-game winning streak.

He earned a victory on Children's Day. He recalls his own Golden Week as being "nothing but games and practice," completely immersed in baseball. The right-handed pitcher, who says he still remembers watching professional games as a child, smiled and said, "When I was a kid, I thought everyone was so cool, so I'd be happy if the children who came today felt the same way." With a spirited pitch, he became everyone's hero.
