In 7 innings, he gave up 3 hits, while striking out 0, walking 2, and allowing 1 run. Nagasaki, at 42-48, sits in 5th place in the Western League.

Yoritomo Toyota dealt the Bulls a blow in the top of the sixth. Batting with the bases loaded and Nagasaki leading 1-0, Toyota hit a first pitch fastball for a 2-run single.

"It was a good night for them and a bad night for us," said Kobe manager Shojiro Tasaka.
