◆ Pacific League Nippon-Ham 0-8 Softbank Hawks (21st, ES CON FIELD)

Softbank Hawks 's Taisei Makihara injured his left hand while attempting a diving catch on a double to left-center doble by Yoshida in the 7th inning with no outs, and was defense to leave the game. Although he indicated he did not want to be replaced while a trainer rushed to his side, he was taken off to the dugout as a precaution.

After the game, manager Hiroki Kokubo explained, "He should be fine from the day after tomorrow. I thought it was his wrist, but it was his finger." He also revealed that Ukyo Shuto, who had been starting line-up for five consecutive games due to a right calf injury, had taken his place in center defense, but that he had originally been scheduled to play from the eighth inning.
