Pacific League: Orix Buffaloes vs. Rakuten Eagles (25th, Kyocera Dome Osaka)

Orix Buffaloes 's starting line-up was announced. Ryoma Yamanaka catcher returned to the starting lineup after four games as the seventh batter and left fielder. Although he struggled so far in August with a batting average of .186, on the 23rd against Softbank Hawks (at Mizuho PayPay Dome), he hit a pinch hitter doble over the left field. Can the promising hitter in his second pro year seize the opportunity to regain form?

Below is the Orix Buffaloes starting line-up.

First baseman, third baseman Mune

Second batter, right fielder Kita

3rd batter/DH Nishikawa

Number 4, first baseman Ota

5th batter, shortstop Kurebayashi

Number 6, center fielder Nakagawa

Number 7, Left Fielder Yamanaka

Number 8, Second Baseman: Noguchi
