Pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the ace of professional baseball and Orix, won his second win of the season against Nippon-Ham Fighters on the 2nd, extending the consecutive wins that have continued since last season to "17", which is on par with the team record.
Pitcher Yamamoto started the game against Nippon Ham on the 2nd at Kyocera Dome Osaka.
Pitcher Yamamoto threw a fastball with a head and a straight with momentum at a good tempo, and continued pitching without any runs.
In the 7th inning with a 2-point lead, he was in a pinch with a one-stroke tie with 2 outs, 2nd base and 3rd base. He struck out 7 times with 5 hits and no runs, and won his second win of the season.
With this, pitcher Yamamoto extended the winning streak that continued across the seasons to "17" from May last year, and lined up with the winning streak record of the team recorded by Mitsuhiro Adachi at the Hankyu at that time from 1970 to 1971.
The professional baseball record for consecutive wins across seasons is the "28" consecutive wins recorded by pitcher Masahiro Tanaka of Rakuten from 2012 to 2013.
