Reliables Nagao Stops Rams
Niou Nagao kept the Rakisuta Rams hitters from doing much damage at Rakisuta Stadium.

Rakisuta could only muster 5 hits and draw 4 walks against the right-handed Nagao, who controlled them throughout the game. Hosho won the contest, 2-0. Nagao added 9 strikeouts in his complete-game effort.

"I don't know if I was on or if they were off today," Nagao told reporters after the shutout win. "But whatever it was, I hope it happens again next time."

This season, Nagao has registered 3 wins and 1 loss in 5 starts with a 2.29 ERA.
