◆ Pacific League Rakuten 4x-3 Lotte (13th, Rakuten Mobile)
The last-placed Lotte in Pacific League suffered its third walk-off defeat of the season, making it four games in a row. It is now nine games behind for the first time in three years.
Kojima, the starter, got off to a shaky start, giving up two runs in the first inning. In the fourth inning, he gave up one run just after his teammates tied the game. He went 3-runs in the seventh inning, but couldn't get his second win of the season. Coach Yoshii said, "No comment, I don't think the team will really improve unless he is solid. It's a seed market that throws with him tomorrow. It would be a problem if these two people didn't do a really good job. [Kojima] is a man who is said to be an ace in the opening pitcher. It's bad, but it's not really going to be like this all the time."
