Notes
Junichi Sato became the thirteenth active umpire to appear in 1,500 games.
HR: SOF: Pena (13, one on, off Igawa), Tamura (2, none on, of Kisanuki), Lee T (1, none on, off Takamiya).
Orix: Igawa took the loss and is 1-3 in five starts.
Softbank: Settsu won his second straight start and is 9-4 in sixteen starts. He has also won all three of his starts against the Buffaloes this year. ... Morifuku saved his fourteenth game of the year. ... Tamura recorded his first modasho of the year. ... Lee T's homer in the 8th inning was the first of his Ichi-gun career.
Wow, just noticed they got the same number of attendance for 2 consecutive days. 38561! I hope they can squeeze into top 3. What happened to them this season?
Look again, it’s 3 consecutive days.
They lost their three best starters and their starting shortstop. Not much mystery to it, really.
It’s like watching what Lotte experienced after losing Nishioka for 2011 season all over again. Glad Lotte bounced back in 2012.
