On May 6th, four regular season will be held by Pacific League League teams.

We hope that Shu Yamagata will step up Takuya Nakashima, who was replaced in the previous game, had 3 hit 1 RBI

At The Fighters Kamagaya Stadium, the fifth game between Hokkaido Nippon-Ham and Yokohama DeNA will be held starting at 1:00 PM.

[Season Series Record] Hokkaido Nippon-Ham (East 1st Place) vs. Yokohama DeNA (Central 2nd Place): 1 win, 3 losses

Hokkaido Nippon-Ham is hoping for a strong performance from Shu Yamagata. He started the season with the first team but was removed from the roster on April 27th after hit in 18 at-At Bat over 9 games. After joining the farm team, he played in 6 games but only managed 2 hit At Bat at-bats for a batting average of .091. In the game the previous day, his replacement, Takuya Nakashima, recorded 3 hit 1 RBI, so Yamagata will be hoping to regain the tenacious hitting he showed last season.

Tomoya Inoue and Ho Naito both had two hit the previous day.

The 13th game between Fukuoka Softbank and Orix Buffaloes will be held at Tamahome Stadium Chikugo starting at 13:00.

[Season Series Record] Fukuoka Softbank (Western Japan 1st Place) vs. Orix Buffaloes (Western Japan 2nd Place): 6 wins, 6 losses

Fukuoka Softbank 's Tomoya Inoue is a player to watch. In the previous game, he started as the number 9 batter and right fielder and recorded two hit. This season, he has appeared in 12 exhibition games but has not been able to produce results, with a batting average of .148. He will be looking to continue to impress in this game as he aims to be promoted to the first team.

Orix Buffaloes 's Ho Naito also recorded two hit in the previous game. Currently, he is struggling in the minor leagues with a batting average of .226 in 33 games, but he has been batting fourth in the two games of this series and has been improving, including hitting his third home run of the season, a two-run homer, on the 4th.

Daito Yamamoto joins the second team.

At ADEKA Sodegaura Municipal Stadium, the 8th game between Chiba Lotte Marines and Tohoku Rakuten Eagles will be held starting at 13:00.

[Season Series Record] Chiba Lotte Marines (Tied for 4th in the East) vs. Tohoku Rakuten Eagles (2nd in the East): 1 win, 6 losses

Chiba Lotte Marines 's attention is focused on Daito Yamamoto. He was removed from the first-team roster on the 4th and made his first appearance since joining the second team in the game against Tohoku Rakuten Eagles on the 5th, but went hit in 3 At Bat. He will want to make a big impact in the second team first. Tohoku Rakuten Eagles 's Shoya Sakagami hit a timely doble in the previous game, recording RBI in 8 games. The 7th round draft pick rookie went hitless in 7 At Bat hit in 3 games with the first team. Will he be able to make an appeal for a return to the first team?

Veteran players Takeya Nakamura and Ginjiro Sumitani are currently in training.

At CAR3219 Field, the second game between Saitama Seibu Lions and Oisix Niigata will be held starting at 13:00.

[Season head-to-head record] Saitama Seibu Lions (3rd in the Central region) vs. Oisix Niigata (tied for 4th in the Eastern region): 1 win, 0 losses

The Saitama Seibu Lions have veteran players Takeya Nakamura and Ginjiro Sumitani continuing to play in the farm team. Nakamura has been in good hit in his last four games and a batting average of .306 in 19 games. On the other hand, Sumitani has been struggling, with a batting average of .133 in 13 games. Both players have limited playing opportunities, but they are making adjustments and waiting for their chance to be called up to the first team.
