Keita Sato, who is rated as the 16th best prospect by BNN, chipped in for ORIX with a run-scoring single in the bottom of the sixth. For the game, the designated hitter had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 2 runs scored, and 2 RBI.

"It's a mindset," said Maekawa. "Just trying to do your job, trying to be consistent."
