Kanda Stadium was the site of a competitive game between the Rakisuta Rams and Denki Dynamics.

The Denki Dynamics picked up a win at Kanda Stadium, knocking off the Rakisuta Rams, 4-3. On the mound for Denki was right-hander Tom Hodges. He played a key role in the triumph. Hodges yielded 3 runs over 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 8 hits, walked 1, and struck out 7. His record improves to 6-1.

Kinnojo Hirao had a big 2-run home run for the Dynamics in the bottom of the third inning. With Denki leading 2-1 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a changeup from Yoshimatsu Shiina, who is a two-time All-Star, and punished it. The result was his 16th home run of the season, which put the Dynamics on top, 4-1.

"Nice to tuck this win away," said Hirao.

Denki has run its win streak to 5 straight.
