Notes
HR: SEI: Nakamura (25, none on, off Duckworth).
Rakuten: The Eagles snapped a five-game losing streak at Seibu Dome. ... Duckworth won his third straight start and is 3-1 in five starts. ... Aoyama saved his twenty-first game of the year. ... Shimauchi recorded his second modasho of the year.
Seibu: Makita took the loss and is 12-8 in twenty-five starts. His personal three-game winning streak ended with his first loss in four starts since his last defeat on August 30 (vs Nippon Ham). His five-game winning streak (seven starts) at Seibu Dome also came to an end. ... Akiyama extended his hitting streak to fourteen games. ... Hisanobu Watanabe was not happy with how the umpires handled a balk call in the 7th inning: with no out and the count 2-0, as German stole second, Duckworth was called for a balk; the scoreboard was not properly updated and play resumed with the count 2-1. Source: Sponichi 9/27/2012 ... A throwing E2 by Sumitani in the top of the 7th allowed an unearned run to score.
