Genjo Fujii got the win, improving to 5-5. He held the Sailors to 2 runs on 6 hits over 6 innings, while striking out 0 and walking 1. Haruki Ogawa recorded the save, his 12th.

Vesutan took advantage of an error in the top of the seventh inning. The game was tied, 2-2, when Shougo Iwai hit a 2-run single that was misplayed. It put the Bees in front, 4-2.

"It was a good night for them and a bad night for us," said Osaka manager Motoshige Aoki.

Vesutan is third in the Western League with a record of 42-39.
