ORIX third baseman Yasujiro Kono had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Kono went 2 for 2 with 2 home runs, 2 walks, and was hit by a pitch, even as Saitama Seibu beat the Buffaloes, 7-3. Kono was named the player of the game despite the loss. Fernando Andujar closed the door for Saitama Seibu, picking up his 1st save of the year. Saitama Seibu is off to a hot start at 4-1.

Zion Baucum aided the Saitama Seibu cause with a run-scoring single in the bottom of the first. For the game, the right fielder went 4 for 5 with 4 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2.

"I don't feel you win baseball games by working harder than the other team or 'wanting it more,'" Baucum told the Saitama Seibu Chronicle. "You win just by scoring more runs."
