NPB Pacific League：Lions 7 vs 1 Marines
Alexander Canario set the tone early on August 16th, crushing a two-run home run—his 10th of the season—in the bottom of the 1st inning against the Chiba Lotte Marines. Wasting no time in the opening frame, the Saitama Seibu Lions slugger jumped all over a pitch, driving it deep over the fence to give his team a swift lead and reach the double-digit home run milestone for the campaign. Canario finished the day 1-for-4 with two RBIs, a run scored, and a walk. By reaching the 10-home-run mark and keeping his season batting average at .247, Canario continues to supply essential middle-of-the-order power for Seibu.
