Chiba Lotte 's starting pitcher is Boss pitcher. In his last start (March 29 against Fukuoka Softbank), he gave up 8 hit no walks in 5 innings on 96 pitches Hit by Pitch 5 strike out 4 runs. Will this be his first win in Japan? In the batting lineup, focus on Polanco. He has 29 at-bats in his first seven games of the season, but has yet to Home Run a run. Will the long-range artillery, which has cleared 20 Home Run for three years in a row, wake up?
On the other hand, Tohoku Rakuten started Tatsuki Koja pitcher. In his last start (March 29 against Orix), he threw 71 pitches in five innings, hit 2 Walk 1 strike out 3 runs. I want to get my first win of the season with two good pitches in a row. The offense was held scoreless in 5 hit and lost shutout game in their previous games. In this game, we would like to respond to the strong pitching of the pitcher team.
Boss aims for first win, Tatsuki Koja starts, Polanco also expected to score
