The Hanshin Tigers topped the Hiroshima Toyo Carp, 12-3, in Central League action at Frogs Ballpark. The player of the game was Hanshin third baseman Wan-hua Nao. The Tigers, at 26-20, sit in second place in the Central Division.

Nao had no bigger at-bat than in the top of the first when the 20-year old third baseman hit a bases-clearing double. The double gave Hanshin the lead, 3-0. It was his 7th double of the season.

"I just try to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Nao.
