Owls Slap 4-1 Loss on Sapporo
Norikazu Takai, who is tied for 6th in the EL in quality starts with 17, never let the Bears get in a groove. The right-hander used his bread and butter, his splitter, to pitch the Owls to a win, 4-1. With the win, the Owls sit at 69-56.

The Owls got a big at-bat from shortstop Bungo Arai. For the game, Arai went 1 for 2 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. In the bottom of the sixth, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 35th home run of the season gave Kyoto a 2-0 lead.

"The vibe's good," said Kyoto manager Tomoya Nagao. "We've got to keep it going."
