Kingfishers Slap 2-1 Loss on Kyoto
The Yokohama Kingfishers reigned over the Kyoto Owls in damp conditions.

The Kyoto Owls got a superb performance from pitcher Kento Okada, but the Yokohama Kingfishers still won the game, 2-1. Okada threw 5.1 innings of 3-hit ball. Motokazu Oyama picked up the win, improving his season record to 6-6. He struck out 0 in 5 innings.

Yokohama used the stroke of Kunisada Kimura to get the win. The catcher hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Kingfishers ahead, 2-1. It was his lone hit in 2 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"We found a way to win tonight," Kimura said.

The 5th-place Kingfishers now sit at 42-61.
