Game 5
“MLB World Series Game 5 Yankees vs. Dodgers”
October 31st (Thursday) 9:00am~
The MLB World Series is broadcast exclusively on terrestrial TV every day by Fuji Television. The opening game was a dramatic victory for the Dodgers with a come-from-behind walk-off home run with the bases loaded for the first time in World Series history. In the second game, Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, making his first appearance in the World Series, dominated the powerful Yankees batting line with a comfortable pitch in the seventh inning, allowing one run and allowing one hit, and became the winning pitcher. However, on the other hand, Shohei Ohtani suffered an accident that injured his left shoulder while trying to steal second base in the 7th inning, and was diagnosed with a subluxation. Although it was doubtful that he would be able to participate in the third game, which was moved to enemy territory New York, he participated in the starting lineup as the No. 1 DH. While protecting his left shoulder, he contributed to the team with walks and advances that led to the first point. With three consecutive wins, the Dodgers are finally on their way to becoming number one in the world. Today’s game 4 is here. Otani, who was in the starting lineup as in Game 3, got his first hit since his injury in the 5th inning, but the Yankees, who were pushed to the brink, had no way of backing down and their batting line exploded, scoring double digits and giving them a long-awaited victory in the series. . The powerful Yankees batting lineup has finally awakened, and the World Series is reaching its climax.
Masahiro Nakai, one of the entertainment industry’s biggest baseball fans and a Japanese baseball supporter who has supported Samurai Japan, the Japanese national baseball team, and Japanese MLB players, reacted irresistibly to this situation. It has been decided that he will make an emergency appearance as a “Fuji TV World Series Broadcast Supporter” on the live broadcast of Game 5! While literally “watching over” Otani, who continues to play despite his injuries, he supports the Dodgers’ victory and Otani and Yamamoto’s desire to become “No. 1 in the world.”
*Masahiro Nakai is also scheduled to appear as a cheering supporter during Game 7.
