Lions Turn Back ORIX, 4-3
The Saitama Seibu Lions turned back the ORIX Buffaloes, 4-3, at Field of the Chariots. Jason Gates was named player of the game for his fine performance. He was 1 for 1 with 4 walks. Matt Todd picked up the save for Saitama Seibu, his 5th of the year. With the win, the Lions have a record of 13-13.

Heiichi Matsuo went 1 for 4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for Saitama Seibu. The 19-year old third baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fourth. With no one out and runners on 1st and 2nd, he broke a 1-1 tie with a 3-run home run off Steve Kutcher. It was his 4th home run of the season.

"If I do my job, we've usually got a good chance to win the game," said Gates.
