On the 13th, Seibu Lions lose 8-2 against Nippon-Ham (ESCON F). Starting pitcher Winance struggled to get up and runs, but bounced back with no runs from the second to the fourth inning. However, in the fifth inning, Nippon-Ham was caught by the batting lineup and was pulled midway through the fifth inning with 8 runs (7 earned).

On the 13th, on the broadcast of CS Fuji TV ONE's 'Pro baseball News 2026,' a close-up of Winance's pitch. Kenji Tomashino, who appeared as a commentator, said, "We've been handling the change-up Nippon-Ham lineup. From the start, our change-up really shined, but Winance themselves are most confident in pitching change-up, and their control of slider is about half strike... fastball also had a bit of shooting spin, making control unstable, and when we were using change-up as our weapon, they ended up handling it. Of course, I think we'll need to use change-up again in our next outing, but what kind of combination and pitch arrangement we use will be crucial," he commented.
