Oto Baffles Osaka Batters
Goose eggs were the order of the day for the Osaka Sailors as starter Tatsuharu Oto shut them out, 3-0, at Matsunoki Stadium. The Kobe pitcher struck out 5 and walked 2 while allowing 7 hits.

"Oto 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 Kobe, but this is on us."

This year, Oto has a 5-5 record with a 2.96 ERA in 14 starts.
