Seibu Lions tied the game with three Home Run, tying their season-high for most home runs in a single game.

About two hours before the start of the game, Chihiro Sumida pitcher, who was scheduled to start that day, complained of discomfort in his left shoulder, so the announced starter was changed to Sou Sato pitcher. mound The first inning started with two outs and Sou Sato allowed Mannami Walk to ground out, followed by Reyes doble hitting a timely shot down the right field line. With two outs and a runner on second, Nomura hit a two-run homer, his sixth of the season, giving up three runs in a row.

However, the offense rallied. In the second inning, trailing by three runs, infielder Tyler Nevin hit his fifth home run of the season, a solo shot that landed in the left field bullpen, saying, "I was off balance, but I'm glad it was Home Run," to bring the score to within one run. In the third inning, with one out and trailing by two runs, Takizawa hit his first home run in three years, a solo shot that hit the right field foul pole, and Canario followed with his second solo home run to left-center field, quickly tying the game.
