| Lions Subdue Chiba Lotte, 5-3 | The Saitama Seibu Lions topped the Chiba Lotte Marines, 5-3, with first baseman Yasusaburo Yoshimura playing a big role. Yoshimura went 3-4 with 2 home runs for the Lions in the win. Kenjyu Kato was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 10 of 11 save opportunities. The Lions improved to 26-34.
The Lions got a big at-bat from catcher Jiro Takaoka. For the game, Takaoka was 1-3 with a double and a walk, while adding 2 RBI. In the top of the first, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 2-run double. His 11th double of the season gave Saitama Seibu a 2-0 lead.
"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Yoshimura told the Saitama Seibu Daily News.
