Buffaloes Lose, 6-4, at Sailboats Ballpark
The Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles defeated the ORIX Buffaloes, 6-4, at Sailboats Ballpark today. Leading the charge for Tohoku Rakuten was second baseman Jian-gang Chi. He was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Masanori Hayashi recorded his 8th save for Tohoku Rakuten. Tohoku Rakuten has now won 3 straight, while the Buffaloes have lost 3 in a row.

The Golden Eagles got an important contribution from right fielder Hajimu Miyagawa, who in the bottom of the fourth punched a first pitch fastball into left for a 2-run home run. It was his 14th home run of the season and put the Golden Eagles ahead, 3-1.

In comments to the Tohoku Rakuten Chronicle, Chi admitted he's been told to improve his work habits. "But," he said, "I know when to take it to another gear."
