Kyoto Draws Blanks Against Smith
It wasn't easy but the Hosho Reliables made it look that way.

Starter Takamichi Smith shut out the Kyoto Owls despite having what he later called "sub-par" stuff, and the Hosho Reliables cruised to victory, 6-0. Smith allowed only 3 hits and rang up 7 strikeouts but insisted later that he did not deserve primary credit for the win.

"It didn't feel quite right today, but I got a lot of help to get through," he said. "I trusted my catcher and the guys behind me bailed me out more than once when I screwed up."

To date this season, Smith has a record of 5 wins and 5 losses and a 2.80 ERA. He has appeared in 13 games and struck out 52 in 83.2 innings.
