[Season Series Record] Tohoku Rakuten Eagles (2nd in the East) vs. Chiba Lotte Marines (4th in the East): 8 wins, 4 losses

The player to watch for Tohoku Rakuten Eagles is their 7th round draft pick, rookie Shoya Sakagami. He has played in 38 games in the farm league, batting .289. In the previous day's game, he had hit in three consecutive games, but he also committed an error in center fielder defense. To succeed in the first team, he needs to play consistently both offensively and defensively.

On the other hand, Chiba Lotte Marines 's Yu Tatematsu recorded a timely hit the previous day. Although he has struggled this season with a batting average of .183 so far, he has been hitting well in his last 6 games, with 6 At Bat 15 hit, for a batting average of .400. Can he continue to impress in this form?
