Giants Continue Hot Start to Season With Win
Yomiuri shortstop Akira Kaneko played a vital role in his team's 8-3 triumph over Hanshin. He was 4 for 5 with 2 doubles and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for Yomiuri. Bang-eun Kim got the win, improving to 1-1. He worked 5.2 innings, giving up 2 runs on 6 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 2. Hanshin now has a 5-game losing streak.

Yomiuri took the lead in the bottom of the fifth on a big hit from Hiromi Nagao. On a 1-2 sinker from Atsuya Suda, Nagao hit a 2-run home run. That made it 4-2, Giants. For the day, Nagao was 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Kaneko told the Yomiuri Citizen. "It's as simple as that."
