Yamamoto Blanks Kobe, 12-0
Iwao Yamamoto was in a mood to talk following the Fukuoka Falcons contest against the Kobe Bulls, expounding to BNN reporters on his pitching philosophy. He had good reason to be excitable, having tossed a complete game shutout of the Bulls, 12-0.

"There are three important elements in pitching success: location, location, and location," Yamamoto said. "I was hitting my spots time and time again."

The right-hander blanked Kobe on a 3-hitter, allowing 3 walks and racking up 2 strikeouts.

Thus far this season, Yamamoto has posted a 8-4 record, started 14 games, struck out 42 batters in 86 innings and compiled a 3.87 ERA.
