The Giants scored seven points in the first inning with the onslaught of 12 batters, including timely hits from rookie Shunsuke Sasaki, who was drafted third overall, and Yuto Akihiro, a fourth-year professional player.
Pitcher Togo Togo, who has already been determined to be the opening pitcher, started and pitched mostly straight, allowing only one hit and zero runs in the first inning, showing his smooth adjustment.
On the other hand, Hanshin's starting pitcher, Shoji Ito, who recorded 10 wins last season, gave up 7 hits in the first inning and gave up 7 points, and although he is expected to be included in the starting rotation, there is some concern as he gave up 7 runs in the 3rd inning.

The Giants won the game 9-4.
