Notes
Chunichi: Iwase took the loss in relief and is 0-3 in thirty-eight games. This is his second loss in three appearances. ... The Dragons lost their second straight. They were also handed their first walk-off loss of the season.
Hiroshima: Mickolio got the win in relief and is 2-3 in thirty-eight games. ... Amaya's hitting streak came to and end at eleven games. ... The Carp have won five straight (and five in a row at Mazda Stadium). This is also their second walk-off victory of the year. ... Ishihara attempted a squeeze bunt and ended up with a walk-off bunt single. ... K. Maeda's throwing error in the top of the 3rd led to two unearned runs.
Maken’s errant decision to throw the ball to 2nd almost caused him the game. I have no idea why he did that with 1 out. You’re an ace, get the guy out at first and boom it’s down to the last out. Unless you have no trust in your stuff, you just don’t do that. I think he knew what he did was stupid right after the play.
That said, Iwase, Iwase, Iwase. Not much to say really. The Dragons couldn’t be happier that the all-star break is here. Good thing the Swallows are struggling of late, otherwise the second place would have been overtaken.
