Lotte's Andre Jackson will start in the game against Nippon-Ham on the 7th.

Jackson commented through the team, "I'm in great condition. I've recovered well. I think I'll be in good shape when I take mound. I'm able to pitch well right now. I think what's working is that I'm not trying too hard, and I'm focusing on getting outs one by one while facing each hitter. I'll be showing my fighting spirit tomorrow and giving it my all to help the team win. GO MARINES!"
