The Tokyo Yakult Swallows survived the interleague season.

They took their fair share of bumps and bruises and played some of their worst baseball over the course of 24 games against the Pacific League, but in the end managed to come out on the other side still in a favorable position (third) in the Central League standings.

Now back in intraleague competition, the Swallows are ready to move on, forget about the troubles of the past few weeks, and focus on making a run at the CL pennant.
