| Golden Eagles Get Road Win, 5-4 | The Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles beat the ORIX Buffaloes, 5-4 at Sea Hawks Stadium, in part due to first baseman Kunimichi Nakai, who nabbed player of the game honors. He went 3-3 with a triple, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The winner was Tim Shue, who threw 85 pitches over 7 innings. The right-hander was charged with 4 runs on 6 hits. The Golden Eagles, at 10-16, sit in last place in the Pacific Division.
Nakai contributed a big hit, a 2-run single, for Tohoku Rakuten in the top of the fifth. With his team trailing 4-3, Nakai took a fastball from Yoshiyuki Kikuchi and stroked the single to left. His 31st hit of the season allowed the Golden Eagles to leap in front, 5-4.
"We'll pop the top on a cold one and get back to work tomorrow," Nakai said.
