◆Nippon Life Interleague Series 2026 Seibu Lions vs. Hiroshima (11th, Belluna Dome)

Seibu Lions 's starting pitcher, Kaima Taira pitched well, allowing only one hit and one runs over six innings, and left the game with the opportunity to earn his fifth win of the season.

He mixed his fastball, which reached a top speed of 155 km/h, with a variety of breaking ball, and was perfect through the first three innings, but his control faltered in the fourth inning.

In this inning, he walked the leadoff batter, Nahara, and then walked three bases loaded, putting him in a two-Hit by Pitch, bases-loaded Walk. The third pitch he threw to Montero was a wild pitch, giving up the first run, but he managed to get out of the inning with minimal runs.

After that, he bounced back and did not get a high-quality start in three consecutive games (HQS = 7 innings or more, 2 earned runs or fewer), but he threw 91 pitches, pitching 6 innings and 1 runs. Wingenter came in as the second pitcher from the seventh inning.
