On the 22nd, Lotte win Rakuten Eagles 2-1 in a game (Rakuten Eagles Mobile). Starting pitcher Kazuya Ojima pitched a strong game, allowing only 4 hit and strike out 6 runs over 7 innings, earning his first win of the season.

On the CS Fuji TV ONE program "Pro baseball News 2026" aired on the 22nd, Kojima was featured in a close-up. Commentator Ryota Igarashi said, "It's very important to see how his desire to win shows in his pitching, especially since he hasn't been getting many wins. There was talk that strike balls were very clear, but I think what's important is that he was able to closer them in check, so I think it was a pitch performance where he persevered and did his best."
