Notes
HR: YOM: Sakamoto (7, none on, off Shinoda), Chono (8, one on, off Shinoda).
Yomiuri: Gonzalez started his first game since April 16 (vs Chunichi) and got the win. He is 2-0 in four starts. ... Nishimura saved his fifteenth game of the year. ... The Giants stopped a four-game losing streak at Mazda Stadium.
Hiroshima: Shinoda dropped his third straight start and is now 1-3 in six games (all four decisions came in his four starts). This was his first start/game since May 1 (vs Yomiuri). ... Iwamoto extended his hitting streak to fifteen games; Amaya extended his to sixteen games. ... Every position player in the starting line-up collected at least one hit.


Sakamoto is playing like a MVP.
