Kites Knock Off Bulls, 7-5
Kinboshi took on Kobe in front of a lively crowd.

Yutaka Kobayashi left his imprint on the 7-5 Kinboshi win against the Kobe Bulls. Kobayashi, who is a four-time All-Star, went 2-3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Kannon Kato picked up the save for Kinboshi, his 6th of the year.

Kobayashi had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the seventh. On a 2-0 fastball from Yasuhiko Hidaka, he banged a 2-run home run to right-center, giving the Kites a 7-5 lead. It was the 14th home run of the year for Kobayashi.

"Good to pick up this win," Kobayashi said.

Their 63-42 record puts the Kites first in the Western League.
