Watanabe Stops Kyoto
In a seemingly effortless performance, Kakuro Watanabe of the Yokohama Kingfishers shot down the Kyoto Owls, 3-0, on 2 hits.

"Kakuro was just locating so well and using his pitches," Yokohama manager Johnny Ruby said later. "He wasn't leaving anything over the plate."

Watanabe recorded 4 strikeouts and 1 walk in a strong outing.

"When he needed to make pitches, he elevated his game," Kyoto manager Tomoya Nagao said in postgame comments to BNN. "We couldn't get a key hit off him."

So far this year, Watanabe has a 3-0 record with a 0.96 ERA.
