Orix: Four straight losses to 4th place Rakuten puts them three games behind… Ryuhei Sotani runs “It was a disappointing pitch…” | Pacific League

Pacific League: Orix 4-7 Rakuten (13th, Kyocera Dome Osaka)

Orix missed three consecutive wins. It was a 4th consecutive loss to Rakuten, who is competing for CS participation, and the game difference was 3. On this day, starter Soya was struggling. He gave up 4 runs in the first 3 innings, but was unable to recover and left in the middle of the 5th inning. I was disturbed with my worst 6 runs. After winning his eighth win in the Nippon-Ham game (ES CON FIELD) on July 11th, the left-hander, who had not won a month for a month, dropped his shoulders and said, “I can only say sorry that I have become a pitch without a win.”

Trailing by seven runs in the sixth inning, with bases loaded and one out, Sugimoto and Ota hit consecutive hits to score three runs. Diaz then grounded out to the pitcher with runners on first and second. Olivares also grounded out to shortstop with two outs and runners on second and third. They scored another run in the seventh inning, but with one out and runners on first and third, Tonmiya hit a fly ball to center field, and Sugimoto struck out out looking. The gap with the league leader, Softbank, has now widened to 12 games.
