Kenji Tomoshino and Hiroki Nomura, who appeared on the “Pro baseball News 2026” broadcast on Fuji TV ONE on the 12th, discussed Nippon-Ham and Haruki Hosono, who recorded their second win since achieving a no hitter against the Lotte Marines in the game on the same day (Chunichi).
Despite pitch runner on base in almost every inning from the third inning onward against Chunichi lineup, Hosono pitched 6 2/3 innings, throwing 111 pitches, hit 6 hits, strike out 11, and runs only 1 run, earning his second win of the season.
Tomashino offered words strike, saying, "He finally got a win. He hadn't been able to continue the momentum since his no hitter, so I think he must have been feeling down, but now that he's gotten his second win, his control has improved as long as he can throw strikes. I hope he can go for a third and fourth win." Nomura reflected, "He started this year with no hitter. He must have thought this year would be a good one, but he hadn't been able to get a win until today. It must have been a long and tough time for him."
