◆Nippon Life Interleague Series 2026 Rakuten Eagles 0-3 Hiroshima (14th, Rakuten Eagles Mobile Saikyo Park Miyagi)

Rakuten Eagles lost a close game to Hiroshima, suffering their second consecutive defeat.

Starting pitcher Fujii had a shaky start. In the first inning, he gave up a solo home run to Omori, conceding the first run. In the second inning, with one out and runners on first and third, he allowed sacrifice fly to Fabian, extending the lead.

　それでも中盤から復調。走者を出しながらも無失点投球を続けた。８回も続投。１死二、三塁のピンチを招いたところで降板となった。２番手の中込が坂倉に右犠飛を浴びて、追加点を許した。藤井は８回途中７安打３失点だった。

The offense, hoping to provide support, struggled greatly against Hiroshima's starting pitcher Okamoto. They managed only two scattered hit by the seventh inning and ended up scoreless. The relief pitchers were also unable to break through, and they lost the game.
