On the 27th, Lotte lose to Softbank Hawks 2-4 at Zozo Marine Stadium Stadium. On the 27th, CS Fuji TV ONE's "Pro baseball News 2026" featured Koki Yamaguchi, Home Run in consecutive games and is in good batting form. Since the team moved to Chiba, his 25 home run a Japanese player is a record that ties him with Kiyoshi Hatsushiba. Commentator Hatsuhiko Tsuji said, "I've felt this since I was his manager, but he has ups and downs in his performance. However, this year, even though it started midway through, he's been consistently in good form. I think this is an awakening, or perhaps a sign of confidence."

Commentator Shohei Tateyama said, "Today it was a shot that went straight to center fielder batter’s box, his toes never shift until he hits the ball." Tsuji Hatsuhiko then analyzed, "That might be what closer his left shoulder from opening up. Before, he would open up when hitting outside breaking ball."
