Nippon-Ham outfielder Franmil Reyes was absent due to pain in his left heel.
After the game, manager Shinjo explained, “It’s not that serious. We can still hit this well even without More (Reyes).”
He participated in batting practice before the game, hitting the ball cleanly one after another. “(The batting practice) went well, didn’t it? I think he’ll be fine tomorrow. But I don’t want to push him too hard, and if the players who played today hit this well, the competition for starting line-up will be interesting again,” he said.
