Takai Stars in 4-1 Kyoto Win
Norikazu Takai, who leads the EL in innings pitched with 100.1, never let the Reliables get in a groove. The right-hander used his bread and butter, his splitter, to pitch the Owls to a win, 4-1. The defeat makes Hosho 39-19.

Takai threw well for Kyoto, thwarting the Hosho offense. The right-hander tossed 128 pitches over 9 innings. He allowed just 1 run on 5 hits.

"Norikazu did a good job mixing and matching," said Kyoto manager Tomoya Nagao.
