Tohoku Rakuten’s starting pitcher is Takayuki Kishi. It was a pitching battle with Orix starting pitcher Espinoza from the beginning, but he pitched with a veteran-like quality that rivaled Kenta Maeda the other day. Continuing to pitch well, with only 1 hit allowed at the end of the 5th inning, the team took a 2-run lead in the 6th inning. Immediately after, the team got 1 point back with a solo HR, and was in a pinch with one out and 2nd base, but he calmly cut off the following and did not allow a tie!! He maintained the lead in the following 7 innings, and until this inning, he had 90 pitches, 3 hits, no walks, and 1 run, earning his second win of the season!!
