Kato Goes Wild, But Giants Win
The Hiroshima Toyo Carp got a superb performance from right fielder Yozo Kato. Still, it wasn't enough to beat Yomiuri. The Giants won the game, 13-10. In spite of the loss, Kato was named the player of the game. He went 2-3 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. Kenshin Kawamoto earned the save, his 6th, for the Giants. The Giants bumped their record to 17-10 with this latest triumph.

Hiroyoshi Kato, who is tied for 6th in the CL with a .426 on-base percentage, chipped in for Yomiuri with a grand slam home run in the bottom of the first. For the game, the second baseman had 3 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 2 singles, 1 run scored, and 4 runs batted in.

"Baseball is about momentum," said Kato, "and we feel we've got it in our favor after that win."
