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

　ソフトバンク・牧原大成は７回無死の中堅の守備で、吉田の左中間二塁打にダイビングキャッチを試みた際に左手を痛めて途中交代した。トレーナーが駆けつける中、本人は交代しない意思を示したが、大事を取ってベンチに退いた。

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.
