◆Nippon Life Interleague Series 2026: The Giants 5-1 Softbank Hawks (27th, Tokyo Dome)

Softbank Hawks s winning streak came to a halt at four. Armenta, who was registered as a manager from a developmental contract and made his first appearance and first start in his fifth year in Japan, made a 5 runs KO in the middle of the third inning with a 4 hit 4-4 Hit by Pitch. "Walk was a waste. I'll reflect on it and try to do better pitch," said the 21-year-old left-hander from Mexico, who made his debut with a black star.

The batting lineup managed to get runner on base in every inning until the 7th against Togoh, but they couldn't get the crucial hit, and their only run came in the 3rd inning with a timely hit by Yamamoto Kei.
