◆ Seibu Lions Pacific League: Seibu vs. Softbank Hawks (June 6th, Belluna Dome)

Softbank Hawks starter Tomohisa Ozeki was on fire in the second inning. He hit 9 consecutive hits with 1 Walk from 1 out and made a big inning of 8 runs. However, in order to avoid too many pitches in the reliever team in the sixth game of the six-game series, the bench instructed them to continue pitching. The 3rd inning from the 3rd inning was left with no runs. He threw 92 pitches in 5 innings, and it was 8 runs of 12 hit 1 Walk.

The left-handed pitcher won the title for the highest winning percentage (13 wins and 5 losses) last season, but this season, after earning a win in his first appearance against Rakuten Eagles on March 31, he has not won in his five appearances, and ERA has worsened to 5.73.

In the game against Seibu Lions on the 4th, Hsu Jo-Hsi was sent down to the minor leagues after giving up 7 runs by the third inning, indicating that the team's starting pitchers are increasingly unable to control the game.
