Osaka Shuts Out Vesutan, 9-0
The Vesutan Bees manager was philosophical in the clubhouse following a shutout loss to the Osaka Sailors. The Bees were overpowered by Osaka starter Genpaku Matsumoto, who hurled his club to victory, 9-0.

"It was just one of those games -- shake it off and do better next time," Jack Fletchings said.

Over 9 innings, Matsumoto blanked Vesutan on 5 hits with 2 walks and 6 strikeouts.

"I kept them off balance. I could tell a lot of them were late on fastballs because they were fouling them off. Once you see that, it sets them up for other pitches," Matsumoto said.

"I set them up, where if they chased one breaking ball, they were going to chase another one."

On the season, Matsumoto has a 5-7 record with a 2.76 ERA.
