Yokohama Keeps Trending in Wrong Direction
Yoshifumi Kuramoto, who is tied for 10th in the EL in quality starts with 15, had a strong outing for the Sapporo Bears against the Yokohama Kingfishers at Sapporo Stadium. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 6-3 win. Yokohama is still trying to get off the schneid, having lost 6 in a row.

The Bears got a big at-bat from second baseman Joe Dow. For the game, Dow was 1-4 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the first, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 3-run home run. His 2nd home run of the season gave Sapporo a 3-1 lead.

"It's nice to come out on top today," said Dow.
