Kobe Beats Vesutan, 5-2 | Kobe turned a good effort from starter Toshitada Morino into a win over the Vesutan Bees at Fukuoka Stadium. The final score was 5-2. Morino, the winner, moves to 4-2. He threw 6.1 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 3 and giving up 4 walks. Shiroku Terada earned his 8th save, after closing out the game.
Kobe shortstop Atsushi Tanaka contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the first. With two down, he hit a curveball to right-center field for a 2-run single. It was his 22nd hit of the season and put the Bulls ahead, 3-0.
"Whenever I help the team," said Tanaka, "it sort of justifies my place on the roster."
The Bees, now 7-21, continue their sluggish start. | |
