Notes
HR: Y. Takahashi (6, none on, off Kagami).
Yomiuri: Gonzalez got the win and is 3-0 in five starts. ... Mathieson saved his fifth game of the year. He also topped out at 160km/h. ... Kamei recorded his first modasho since August 7, 2011 (at Hiroshima). ... Y. Takahashi's homer in the 4th was his first away from Tokyo Dome this year. ... Kamei was removed from the game on defense in the bottom of 7th because he hurt the base on his left thumb while sliding into a base in the top of the inning.
Yokohama: Kagami made his first start of the year and took the loss. ... Ishikawa recorded his fourth modasho of the year, all of which have come over his last six games. ... Ramirez's hit in the 5th inning was the 2,000th of his MLB+NPB career (86 MLB / 1914 NPB). ... Yokohama lost their second in a row.
Does Bowker still play for the giants? I know his season wasn’t going well, but haven’t seen him in the line-up or reports in the last month. Cheers
Yep, Bowker is still with the Giants. He was the starting DH in a Ni-gun game against Yokohama on Thursday and went 2-for-4 with two RBI.
He’s actually doing pretty well down at Ni-gun right:
8 G, 12-for-29, 2 R, 5 RBI, 3 BB, 6 SO, .414/.469/.621
Thanks for that! I am an old SF fan and currently try following from Australia, but it is hard to find info down here! Cheers
