Bees Handed 8-2 Loss by Osaka
Osaka got a strong outing from Natsuhiko Sugiura as the Sailors defeated the Vesutan Bees, 8-2, at Kotei Stadium. Sugiura yielded 2 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 2, and struck out 3. His record improves to 1-0. The win moves Osaka to a record of 1-0.

Yoshio Ishikawa had a big 2-run home run for the Sailors in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Osaka trailing 2-1 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from former first round draft pick Genjo Fujii and punished it. The result was his 1st home run of the season, which put the Sailors on top, 3-2.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," Sugiura told the Osaka News.
