Rakuten Eagles Daisuke Nakashima outfielder (25) played starting line-up as leadoff right fielder. With the gap to 3-4 and a runner on third in the fifth inning, with two outs and a runner on third runner, McCuscar took the lead when McCusker's sharp line drive foul struck the area near his right elbow.

After crouching for a while, Nakajima went to the dugout to receive treatment, but manager Yoshii called for a pinch runner. Nakajima had recorded two hit RBI including a two-run doble down the right field line in the fifth inning.

According to the team's public relations department, they decided to monitor his condition rather than take him to the hospital.
