Lions Score Late to Upend Golden Eagles, 4-2
Tohoku Rakuten designated hitter Kiyotaka Sugimoto was sensational. He was 1-2 with a home run and was hit 2 times, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once, but it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Saitama Seibu beat the Golden Eagles, 4-2. Sugimoto was named the player of the game despite the loss. Reliever Justin Dopp picked up the win. His record improves to 1-0. Tsugunosuke Kunishige took the loss. The Lions raised their record to 3-1.

Had Hisornori Tanaka not delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Tanaka hit a 2-run single. That made the score 4-2, in favor of the Lions.

"I felt we were ready to go," said Saitama Seibu manager Lawrence Roberts. "Our pregame was pretty good."
