In the third inning, outfielder Kyota Fujiwara hit his second solo home run of the game off The Giants pitcher Iori Yamazaki in the second at-bat with one out. "I hit a slow curveball. It felt good when I hit it, but there was some wind so I wasn't sure how it would go, but I'm glad it went in." With count at 2-2, he caught an 87 km/h inside slow curveball, and the ball flew into the right field post. Still, he couldn't break Yamazaki down, and the team was limited to three hit one run until the ninth inning.
Starting pitcher Atsuki Taneichi threw a season-high 128 pitches, allowing only three hits and runs strike out in eight innings with eight hit, but he left mound in the ninth inning with the score tied at 1-1, meaning his third win of the season would have to wait.

In order to strengthen their organization just before the interleague games, they promoted Saburo, the second-team manager and general batting coach, to the first-team head coach, and made some other changes to the team, and the new organization started on the 3rd.
