◆ Pacific League: Softbank Hawks vs. Orix Buffaloes (23rd, Mizuho PayPay Dome)

Orix Buffaloes 'starting line-up has been announced. In the game against Softbank Hawks on the 22nd (at Mizuho PayPay Dome), pitcher staff collapsed, giving up 22 runs for the first time in 10 years since the game against the same team on May 24, 2016 (at Yahoo! Dome). Only Yamaoka, who gave up 2 runs in the first inning, entered bullpen again today, looking for an opportunity for revenge. Among the position fielder, Mune, who has the highest batting average of .396, 3 Home Run and 13 RBI in all the games against Softbank Hawks, will be playing as the cleanup hitter and third baseman for the second time in his 12-year professional career. Can the team as a whole show their fighting spirit and secure their first series win in three series?
