Osaka beat Kinboshi in a rain-soaked ballgame.

Osaka first baseman Kikuichi Shirai made his presence felt in the 7-4 Sailors triumph over the Kinboshi Kites. Shirai went 2-3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 3. The Sailors sport a record of 12-21.

Shirai had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the seventh. On a 1-1 fastball from Kannon Kato, he banged a 3-run home run to left, giving the Sailors a 7-4 lead. It was the 7th home run of the year for Shirai.

"Just trying to help my team," said Shirai. "That's all I want."
