巨人は逆転優勝を目指し、残り試合で負けられない状況が続いている。
逆転優勝へ負けられない戦いが続く巨人。大事な一戦で先発マウンドを託された小笠原が、投打で快勝に導いた。「いい球を投げて、ストライクを取って。自分のやるべきことだけを意識した」
緩急を効果的に使った。三回2死一、二塁のピンチでは4番西村に対し、フルカウントから外角の速球で空振り三振に。大量リードもあって5回無失点、78球で降板となり、今季途中加入の左腕が5勝目をつかんだ。
3―0で迎えた三回の攻撃では、打者一巡の猛攻の一端を担った。1点を追加し、なおも2死二、三塁で打席へ。外角低めの変化球を最後は右手一本で振り抜き、右中間に2点二塁打を放った。「まさか、あんなにちゃんと打てるとは思っていなかった。打ててよかった」と笑みを浮かべた。
試合のなかった阪神の優勝マジックは4のまま、ゲーム差は2に縮まった。10月1日の阪神戦を含め、残り4試合。橋上監督代行は「私が言わなくても、選手は今置かれている状況を分かっている。残り試合も全力で頑張りたい」と言葉に力を込めた。
