Pacific League: Lotte 6-5 Softbank Hawks (10 extra innings) - (26th, ZOZO Marine)

He failed to maintain a 5-run lead in the first inning, and in the 10th inning of the extra inning, Go Suzuki gave up walk-off homers. The biggest miscalculation was closer Sugiyama, who was caught up to two runs in the ninth. Before the game on the 22nd, he injured his right foot and was off the bench for the second consecutive day, but from the 25th, he had tape around the injured area and waited for bullpen. Manager Kokubo said, "There is absolutely no risk that the injury will affect him. We will check with Coach pitcher whether he can perform in his current condition," leaving some doubts about his appearances after the 27th.
