Saito Shuts Out Owls, 4-0
The Kyoto Owls struggled at the plate against Reliables hurler Shihei Saito, who shackled them on 3 hits while hurling a complete-game 4-0 shutout.

"What can you say? We didn't hit well," said Owls skipper Tomoya Nagao in postgame comments. "Hopefully we shake this off and bounce back tomorrow."

Saito finished the game with 4 strikeouts and 1 walk in an excellent mound performance.

"He pitched real well," Hosho manager Shun Kawamura said. "Shihei made pitches when he had to. He hit his spots and did a great job of mixing in his changeup and using his fastball effectively."

So far this year, Saito has made 7 starts, tossed 55.1 innings, struck out 26 batters and walked 16. His record is 3-3 with a 3.42 ERA and he has limited opposing teams to a .244 batting average.
