Softbank Hawks 's pitcher Darwinzon Hernández made his first appearance since returning to the first team, completing one scoreless runs.

In the fifth inning, trailing by two runs, he reached mound and measured 155 km/h from the first pitch. He hit a single to left to Nomura and gave up a Walk to Narama, putting runners on first and second with one out, but cut through the next batter to closer the runs.

He was removed from the active roster on June 10 due to a left elbow injury. After undergoing rehabilitation, he was re-registered on the 14th, when the three-game series Nippon-Ham began.
