Chotaro Nakanishi, who is tied for 8th in the PL in home runs with 9, chipped in for Tohoku Rakuten with a grand slam home run in the top of the first. For the game, the first baseman had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 4 RBI.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Nakanishi. "And not try to do too much."
