Rams Lose Again, 2-0, to Kingfishers | Shigeyasu Hirayama, who is tied for 5th in the EL with a 6.9 K/9 rate, never let the Rams get in a groove. The right-hander used his bread and butter, his curveball, to pitch the Kingfishers to a win, 2-0. The Yokohama winning streak has reached 5 games.
The Kingfishers got a gift in the bottom of the sixth inning, when they were leading 1-0. With one out and the bases loaded, Souhei Tamura reached on an error by the 1B, driving in 1 run. It made the score 2-0, Yokohama.
"I warned the team before the game," losing manager Bob Lester told reporters, "that I'm wearing the same pair of undies until we win." | |
