Sekiguchi Records 4-0 Shutout Against Hosho
The Kyoto Owls shut out the Hosho Reliables, 4-0, behind the strong pitching of Michinaga Sekiguchi. Sekiguchi surrendered only 2 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 7.

Following the last out, Sekiguchi appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Hosho manager Shun Kawamura, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Sekiguchi's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart.

The Reliables skipper would not comment on the exchange but, at the Owls press conference, Sekiguchi confirmed that it was regarding the celebration.

"He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Sekiguchi said.

"And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Kyoto manager Tomoya Nagao added.

This season in 11 starts, Michinaga Sekiguchi has a record of 4-6 with 47 strikeouts in 83.2 innings and a 3.98 ERA.
