Stars Win at Home, 4-2 | The Nagasaki Stars got a stellar effort from pitcher Tai Shimabukuro, helping Nagasaki score a win over the visiting Osaka Sailors, 4-2. Shimabukuro yielded 2 runs over 7.2 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 0, and struck out 3. His record improves to 2-2. The save went to Masato Yamamoto, his 10th this season.
Binya Nishi had a big 2-run home run for the Stars in the bottom of the third inning. With Nagasaki leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a slider from Yugo Imoto, who is tied for 6th in the WL in complete games with 1, and punished it. The result was his 4th home run of the season, which put the Stars on top, 3-0.
Nagasaki manager Eddie Roseman praised his team's "businesslike approach."
