◆ Pacific League Orix Buffaloes vs. Lotte (26th, Kyocera Dome Osaka)

Orix Buffaloes 's starting line-up was announced. Tomoya Mori catcher started for the first time in two games as the fifth batter and DH. In the game against Lotte on the 10th (ZOZO Marine Stadium), he hit his seventh two-run homer over the right field fence, and will he be able to make a strong impact at the center of the lineup that day? Alen Kuri pitcher started five consecutive games, following Softbank Hawks on the 8th (Kyocera Dome Osaka), Rakuten Eagles on the 14th at Rakuten Eagles Mobile Strongest Park Miyagi, and Kyocera Dome Nippon-Ham on the 20th.
