Sakai Humbles Hosho, 3-0
The Yokohama Kingfishers did little to support starter Masatoshi Sakai against the Hosho Reliables, but it turned out he didn't need the help.

The right-hander spun a complete game shutout against the Reliables, striking out 9 and surrendering 3 hits. The performance from Sakai allowed Yokohama to escape with the 3-0 win, despite an anemic offense.

"Nobody came to me and said, 'Masatoshi, we're gonna need you to win this one for us today,' but I could feel it," Sakai told BNN reporters following the win. "I'm the guy that will step up for you when you need it."

In 26 starts this year, Sakai has crafted a 13-8 record and a 2.73 ERA.
