◆Open game Orix 1-5 The Giants (7th, Kyocera Dome Osaka)
Orix is not doing well, aiming to win the championship again. The batting line was silent against The Giants, with only four hit and one run, and they lost all five of their games in March. They also lost three exhibition games in a row, and during this time they only scored five runs, showing the sluggishness of their batting line.
Yamashita, the starter, appeared to have had some kind of accident and was removed after 3 1/3 innings of 2 runs and 61 pitches. Toyama, a left-hander looking to make the Opening Day roster in relief, went 3-Walk in the sixth inning of the second inning, and Ono, who relieved him, couldn't stop him with a 1 hit 1 Walk 1 wild pitch. Even though it was an open match, Kishida's first home win in his first year in office was once again deposited. We need one win to turn the tide.
