Lotte's Andre Jackson will start in the game against Yakult on the 2nd.

Jackson commented through the team, "Just like last time, I want to do my best to get the game under control so that the team can win, and I want to consistently pitch a good number inning. My belief is to get ahead in the count with strike and put the batter in a difficult position, so I will do my best to achieve that tomorrow."

Jackson has pitched 55 2/3 innings in 9 games this season, with a record of 2 wins and 5 losses and ERA of 4.04. In his last start against Hiroshima, he pitched 6 innings and closer only one runs.
