He left the mound after five hit, four Walk, and one runs in the fifth inning. He was unable to secure a win for the first time in about three months.

The game went into the final innings tied. In the end, in the bottom of the 11th extra inning with two outs and a runner on second base, Nishigaki gave up a two-run homer to Kojima, resulting in a loss.
