◆ Pacific League Softbank Hawks 9-2 Rakuten Eagles (November 11, Mizuho PayPay Stadium)

Rakuten Eagles suffered a crushing defeat against Softbank Hawks, ending their two-game winning streak.

Starting pitcher Ureña proved to be a miscalculation. He found himself in a jam right from the top of the first inning, allowing two consecutive hits to put runners on first and second with no outs, and then gave up a two-run doble to Kondo to right-center field, conceding the first run of the game.Furthermore, with one out and a runner on third, he allowed a run-scoring single to right field by Yanagita, and with one out and runners on first and second, he was hit for a three-run homer by Dai Makihara. He then gave up a run-scoring single to left field to Shuto, resulting in 7 hit and 7 runs in that inning. Although he made adjustments afterward, he was pulled from the game after allowing 9 hit, 6 Walk, and 7 runs over four innings.

The offense, led off the second inning by McCusker's 11th solo home run to right field, after he had hit three Home Run the previous day, was backed up by Kurokawa's timely doble to left-center field in the third inning, but the large number of runs conceded early on proved to be too much for them.
