Golden Eagles Squelch Lions Offense in Shutout Win
The Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles went home winners at Sailboats Ballpark, thanks in large part to starter Katsumi Nakata. Nakata silenced the Saitama Seibu Lions, enabling Tohoku Rakuten to grab the 3-0 win. Tohoku Rakuten reliever Ryozo Uehara was the winner. His record is now 1-0. The losing pitcher was Gohta Yokota. Takamitsu Soma earned the save for Tohoku Rakuten, his 7th of the year.

Tohoku Rakuten grabbed control in the bottom of the sixth. With two out and runners on 1st and 2nd, Kanbu Kobayashi delivered a 3-run home run, to make it 3-0 in favor of the Golden Eagles.

"The effort we put into this one paid off," Kobayashi said.

The Golden Eagles move to 20-13 with the win, while the Lions drop to 16-17.
