Giants Lose, 7-6, at Frogs Ballpark
The inspired effort of Yomiuri first baseman Kazuhiko Yano was not enough to prevent a 7-6 loss to the Hiroshima Toyo Carp. Yano was 2-3 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Mike Johnson picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 1-0. Keith Cole was tagged with the loss. Sohichiro Kuboyama nailed down his 14th save.

Hiroshima Toyo grabbed control in the bottom of the sixth. With two out and a runner on 3rd, Mitsuo Hasegawa delivered a run-scoring single, to make it 7-6 in favor of the Carp.

"You know, at the end of the day, it's about who scores the most runs," said Hiroshima Toyo manager Takanibu Kobayashi.

Hiroshima Toyo currently is in 5th place in the Central Division at 27-32.
