Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani returned from a right upper arm injury and played as the No. 2 DH against the Padres. He hit right field in his first at-bat and walked in his second at-bat.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani returned from a right upper arm injury and played as the No. 2 designated hitter against the Padres, hitting right field in his first at-bat. On the same day, Japanese players such as Munetaka Murakami, Seiya Suzuki, and Kazuma Okamoto played in the US Major League Baseball, but Okamoto went hitless in a doubleheader, eliminating his chances of advancing to the playoffs.

Consecutive women's judo Olympic champion Ayumi Tanimoto (45) served as a general volunteer to guide spectators at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. Out of gratitude for her past experience, she applied, saying, ``I've always wanted to try it,'' and contributed to the organization of the event with her cheerful voice and smile.

On the 22nd, infielder Takuya Nakajima (35) of the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters, a professional baseball team, held a press conference at the team's home base, Escon Field, Hokkaido, and announced that he would be retiring from active duty at the end of this season. Looking back on his 18 years of dedication to the Fighters, he expressed his gratitude and cited winning the league championship in 2016 as the No. 1 in Japan as his favorite memory. He asked his juniors to ``do the obvious things,'' and expressed his intention to become a coach in the future.

Nippon-Ham fell behind by 5 points due to starter Kitayama's 5 runs, but Tamiya's home run helped them come back and win. Nakajima's retirement match after 18 years of service was decorated with flowers, and the team moved forward to host the CS first stage at their home base.

With less than 10 games left, the Giants, who are 0.5 games behind the leader, suffered a walk-off loss to last place Hiroshima in the 11th inning. They failed to capitalize on the opportunities and their relief team collapsed, resulting in a disappointing loss. They remain in a can't-win situation as they look to win the league for the first time in two years.
