Yoshinaga Spins Gem for Nagasaki
Nagasaki Stars starter Naoto Yoshinaga turned in an exceptional performance against the Osaka Sailors at Kotei Stadium, resulting in a Nagasaki win, 4-1. The Stars saw their record improve to 62-43.

Nagasaki starter Naoto Yoshinaga showed the eye of a tiger. The left-hander allowed 1 run, while limiting Osaka to 3 hits over 8 innings. He was tough to hit.

"The key for me has just been attacking the zone and hitting my spots. When I'm throwing strikes and not falling behind in counts, those are the days when I pitch really good," said Yoshinaga.
