Kites Squelch Sailors Offense in Shutout Win | Behind an impressive start by Gene Walker, Kinboshi beat Osaka, 3-0. Josuke Fujimori sewed up the save, his 9th. Kinboshi, at 28-18, is 2½ games up in the Western League.
Ayahito Yamamoto had a big solo home run for the Kites in the bottom of the sixth inning. With Kinboshi leading 1-0 and the bases empty, he sized up a slider from Yugo Imoto, who is tied for 4th in the WL in complete games with 2, and punished it. The result was his 3rd home run of the season, which put the Kites on top, 2-0.
"I was able to fill up the zone," said Walker. | |
