◆ Pacific League Rakuten Eagles Orix Buffaloes (16th, Rakuten Eagles Mobile Saikyo Park Miyagi)

Orix Buffaloes tied for the worst 12 runs of the season, suffering three consecutive losses to last-place Rakuten Eagles in the same matchup. They couldn't win again at the away Rakuten Eagles Mobile Strongest Park Miyagi, suffering a disastrous record of losing all six games since the start of the season. Their savings, which had been up to 10, finally dropped to 1 for the first time since April 14. Iwasaki and others gave up a bases loaded home run in the 6th inning with a two-run lead — the bullpen's poor form miscalculated. What hurt even more was the base running in the 8th inning, trailing by 3 runs.

With consecutive Walk, Yamanaka created a chance with runners on first and second and no outs, then Yamanaka hit a sharp ball over the right field. At this point, substitute right fielder Muto made it look like he could catch a ball that couldn't be caught. Noguchi was distracted by Noguchi with runner second, resulting in a stop at third base. A run was scored between bases loaded and Nishikawa's double play with no outs. Then, with two outs and a runner on third, Ota grounded to the pitcher, completely halting the momentum.

Even though it may not be recorded in the official records, mistakes at crucial moments that determine the outcome of the game are fatal. Three more runs were scored in the eighth inning, and fielder had no strength left to mount a comeback.
