Kingfishers Suffer 4-2 Road Loss | The Kyoto Owls topped the Yokohama Kingfishers, 4-2, in Eastern League action at Owls Park. The standout performance belonged to Kyoto pitcher and Kyoto, Japan, native Isoroku Furuta. Kyoto bumps their record to 47-49 with the win.
Yutaka Yoshida had a big 2-run home run for the Owls in the bottom of the third inning. With Kyoto leading 2-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a changeup from Masatoshi Sakai, who is tied for 10th in the EL with a 6.2 K/9 rate, and punished it. The result was his 15th home run of the season, which put the Owls on top, 4-0.
"Isoroku pitched like a champ," said Kyoto manager Takejiro Yonemura. | |
