Big Day for Sato as Kingfishers Down Reliables, 10-5
The Yokohama Kingfishers powered past the Hosho Reliables, 10-5, at Nagoya Minami Stadium. Daijiro Sato provided some of the pop. He went 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 3 times and drove in 3. Hirotsugu Sasaki nailed down his 4th save. The third-place Kingfishers have a record of 34-31.

Yokohama used a clutch at-bat from Oda Smith to capture the win. The third baseman hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Kingfishers ahead, 4-1. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Smith.
