◆ Pacific League Rakuten Eagles 3-0 Orix Buffaloes (14th, Rakuten Eagles Mobile)

Orix Buffaloes was unable to connect with the batting lineup with 5 hit unanswered runs and suffered his 7th shutout game loss of the season. The three losses in the last four games were all shutout losses. Mamoru Kishida, who has lined up eight left-handed hitter starters against Ureña, except for No. 4 Ota, said, "I'm going to set up the order based on chemistry and other factors, but right now we may have to be patient..." He squeezed out a few words.

I am sure those times will come.... We just have to be persistent. We have to be patient so that the guys who should be hitting, the regulars, can hit. Seymour, who was suffering from a 16-game hitting streak of no hits hit, including 3 struck out on the day, said, "He didn't look good today. I will talk to him again.

Starting pitcher Jerry, a 213cm right-hander, suffered his second loss since coming to Japan, giving up 8 hit 3 runs in 3 innings. Manager Kishida said, "He was a little too easy on the ball at crucial moments. Of course, there will be days like this. I'm looking forward to his next game." Although the pitching and hitting didn't click on this day, the team maintained its lead with an 8-game lead. If they can bounce back in the three-game series against Lotte starting on the 15th (at ZOZO Marine Stadium), there will be no problem.
