In a high-scoring contest between Yomiuri and Hiroshima Toyo, second baseman Hiroyoshi Kato was a difference-maker.

He was 2-4 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Yomiuri reliever Goro Tanaka got the win, raising his record to 6-0. Sang-joon Sohn was tagged with the loss.

Gui-fan Yen didn't waste any time giving his team the lead. His first time up in the top of the first, he cranked a 3-run home run to put Yomiuri on top, 3-0.

"We played hard and won," said Kato. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'
