Yoshinaga Baffles Osaka Batters | Goose eggs were the order of the day for the Osaka Sailors as starter Naoto Yoshinaga shut them out, 5-0, at Kotei Stadium. The Nagasaki pitcher struck out 5 and walked 1 while allowing 3 hits.
"Yoshinaga was good but he wasn't flawless," Osaka manager Heikichi Kawasaki said. "We had a few opportunities to make something happen and we didn't do it. Not to take anything away from Nagasaki, but this is on us."
So far in 13 appearances this season, Yoshinaga has recorded 6 wins and sustained 2 losses. He has pitched 90 innings, yielded 74 hits, fanned 71 and has a 3.10 ERA. | |
