◆ Pacific League: Softbank Hawks vs. Nippon-Ham (June 6th, Mizuho PayPay Dome)

Nippon-Ham Reyes outfielder hit his go-ahead 24th two-run homer. In the sixth inning with one out and a runner on first, the ball caught Stewart's 134 km/h cutter and was sucked into the right-center home run terrace. "Hosono was closer to a run against a strong lineup, so I wanted to score and help him somehow. I came to the plate with the mindset of returning Manchu (Mannami) from runner first base, so I'm glad I was able to lead," he commented. The distance was 114 meters.

Reyes hit a priceless home run off Stewart, who had closer to just three hit through five innings. In his second at-bat in the fourth inning, Reyes hit a single to left field, maintaining his good form and extending his on-base streak to 16 consecutive games.
