Smith, Reliables Get 3-0 Win
Not everyone stuck through the 20-minute rain delay, but those who did went home happy.

The Hosho Reliables rode a solid performance from 29-year-old starting pitcher Takamichi Smith to a win, beating the Kyoto Owls, 3-0, at Nagoya Minami Stadium. Earning the save was Genichi Tsukamoto. He's now cashed in 5 of 5 save opportunities.

Hosho starter Takamichi Smith was exceptional. The 5-foot-10 right-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits over 8 innings of work.

"Takamichi has got a slow heartbeat," said Hosho manager Shun Kawamura. "He doesn't panic or anything."

The first-place Reliables now have a win-loss record of 41-29.
