NPB Pacific League Chiba Lotte Marines 3 vs 2 Buffaloes

Andre Jackson put on a masterful display of pitching endurance on July 26th, spinning 7.1 strong innings to earn his 7th victory of the season against the Buffaloes. The Marines’ powerful right-hander showed immense poise and command on the mound. Jackson needed 116 gutsy pitches to battle deep into the 8th frame, scattering six hits—including one solo home run—while striking out seven batters with his high-octane stuff. Surrendering only two earned runs, he provided the bullpen with crucial length and kept the opposing offense firmly in check. This dominant outing elevated his season record to 7-6 and kept his ERA at a solid 3.36, further cementing his role as a dependable rotation anchor for Chiba Lotte.
