With 5-3 Win, Kingfishers Improve to 23-15
Fans were not deterred by the threat of rain. They came to see their hometown Yokohama Kingfishers take on the Rakisuta Rams.

Sukeyasu Arakawa was a major factor in the 5-3 Yokohama win over Rakisuta. The Kingfishers pinch hitter went 1 for 1 with a home run. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Naruki Shimada closed the game out for Yokohama, earning his 3rd save.

Arakawa had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the seventh. On a 1-1 fastball from Kiyoshige Abe, he banged a grand slam home run to right, giving the Kingfishers a 5-2 lead. It was the 8th home run of the year for Arakawa.

Said Yokohama manager Tommy McDonell: "At the end of the day, these guys have to perform between the lines, and I think they did."

The Eastern League-leading Kingfishers have a record of 23-15.
