Fukutomi gets 5 RBI as Giants Squeeze Past Chunichi
In a tight contest at Ballpark of Nakashibetsu College, the Yomiuri Giants edged the Chunichi Dragons by the score of 7-6. Yomiuri second baseman Shoya Fukutomi, who blasted 1 home run, was named the player of the game. Shuusuke Koyanagi, credited with the win, is now 1-0. He allowed 6 runs on 4 hits in 6.1 innings. Eric Benjamin earned the save for Yomiuri, his 1st of the year.

Fukutomi had a game-changing home run in the top of the seventh. On a first pitch fastball from Seinosuke Arita, he banged a 3-run home run to right, giving the Giants a 7-4 lead. It was the 1st home run of the year for Fukutomi.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Chunichi manager Tetsuo Kishita. "But we decided not to take it."

The win moves Yomiuri to a record of 1-1.
