| Lions Fall to .500 After Loss to Buffaloes | The ORIX Buffaloes beat the Saitama Seibu Lions, 3-2 at Sea Hawks Stadium, in part due to designated hitter Bobby Croy, who nabbed player of the game honors. He was 2-3 with 2 singles and a walk. The win was credited to Toyohisa Osaki in relief. His record improves to 2-0. Sadaharu Otsuka took the loss. The second-place Buffaloes have won 5 in a row.
Croy had no bigger at-bat than in the bottom of the second when the 23-year old right fielder hit a single. The single gave ORIX the lead, 1-0. It was his 8th hit of the season.
"Our guys are never satisfied," said ORIX manager Steve Richards.
