Red-Hot Shintani Cools Off Rakisuta
It wasn't easy but the Yokohama Kingfishers made it look that way.

Starter Munenao Shintani shut out the Rakisuta Rams despite having what he later called "sub-par" stuff, and the Yokohama Kingfishers cruised to victory, 2-0. Shintani allowed only 3 hits and rang up 1 strikeout but insisted later that he did not deserve primary credit for the win.

"It didn't feel quite right today, but I got a lot of help to get through," he said. "I trusted my catcher and the guys behind me bailed me out more than once when I screwed up."
