He struck out 1 and walked 2 in 7.2 innings, while yielding 7 runs. Shinya Kawakami finished to wrap up his 17th save.

Kobe shortstop Takanori Ide contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the sixth. With two down, he hit a cutter to right field for a 2-run single. It was his 36th hit of the season and put the Bulls ahead, 8-4.

"It's always great to put the barrel on the ball and contribute," said Kurokawa.
