Matsumura Spins 8-0 Shutout Against Nagasaki
In a very sharp performance at Nagasaki Prefecture Stadium, Rei Matsumura of the Fukuoka Falcons blanked the Nagasaki Stars, 8-0. He permitted 7 hits and finished with 7 strikeouts and 2 walks in the Falcons victory.

"Rei goes out there and just goes about his business," Falcons manager Kamlyn Kadota said in his postgame press conference. "I don't think he gets too concerned about what's going on. No matter the pitch, you know he's going to be where he needs to be."

This year, Matsumura has 17 wins and 2 losses and a 2.09 ERA.
