The second round of the Nippon Life Insurance Central and Pacific League Interleague Series 2025 between Tokyo Yakult and Orix will be held at Jingu Stadium from 2:00 p.m. on June 21st.
[Match results] Tokyo Yakult (Central, 6th place) vs. Orix (Pacific, 2nd place) 0 wins, 1 loss
[Scheduled starting pitchers]
Tokyo Yakult: pitcher Mitsujiro Yoshimura: 9 games, 3 wins, 3 losses, ERA 3.31
Orix: pitcher Hiroya Miyagi 11 games, 3 wins, 1 loss, ERA 2.12
For Orix, pitcher Hiroya Miyagi who pitched well in his last appearance, giving up only one runs in nine innings, will start. He has been pitch steadily with ERA of 2.12, but he has not been blessed with much support and has only managed to win three games so far. Will he be pitch well this time and get his fourth win?
I want to keep an eye on Yuma Tongu in the batting lineup. He started off well this season, but in June he had a batting average of .211 despite hit in seven consecutive games. In the game the day before, he struck out in four at-bats, but in his fifth at-bat he hit doble that almost became home run. Will this be the turning point for him to get back on track?
