Notes
HR: YOM: Abe (15, none on, off Yoshimi).
Yomiuri: The Giants' eight-game road winning streak (8-0-2) came to an end. ... Koyama took the loss and is 0-1 in four games (three starts). This was the first decision of his Ichi-gun career. ... With the bases loaded and one out in the top of the 1st, Murata grounded into an inning ended 6-4-3 double play. ... Sakamoto committed a fielding error in the bottom of the 1st that led to two unearned runs.
Chunichi: The Dragons stopped a three-game losing streak. ... Yoshimi got the win and improved to 9-4 in fourteen starts. He is also 4-0 in five starts since his last loss on July 10 (vs Hanshin) and 8-0 in eight starts at Nagoya Dome this season. This was Yoshimi's fifth complete game of the season, and nineteenth of his career. ... Morino's triple in the 3rd was his first since September 14, 2010 (vs Hiroshima).
