Tigers Squelch Swallows Offense in Shutout Win
Right-hander Teh-huai Yo mesmerized the Tokyo Yakult Swallows while leading the Hanshin Tigers to a 4-0 victory. Yong-ho Kym finished to wrap up his 2nd save. Hanshin currently is in second place in the Central Division at 23-16.

One important at-bat came with a runner on 1st in the top of the third inning. Facing Tokyo Yakult hurler Bill Zimmer, Hisashi Fujinami, who is tied for 6th in the CL in stolen bases with 8, hit a 2-run home run. The Tigers went on to win.

"I'm proud to be a part of what we've got going on here," Fujinami told the Hanshin Daily News. "It's a great group and we're happy with the win."
