He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Yokohama pitcher Minao Akagi got the win. He's now 3-0. Toshimasa Kobayashi was tagged with the loss. Toshinori Osada notched his 16th save in 28 chances.

"It's nice to step up when your team needs you," said Arakawa.
The triumph puts Yokohama at 61-38 for the season. | |
