Two batters later in the fifth, he was hit by a pitch but retired Noyce on a groundout. In the sixth, he got two swinging strikeouts to end the inning.

He gave up a leadoff single to Ito in the seventh, but got a foul fly, a grounder to the first baseman and a swinging strikeout to end the threat.

Hanshin starter Masashi Ito pitched nine innings of six-hit ball. It was his second complete game of the season. The Yokohama bats were limited to just two hits through the fifth inning. Both hits came after the second inning.

Yokohama put runners on first and second with back-to-back singles in the top of the seventh, but were denied a chance to score on a shortstop’s grounder. In the eighth and ninth innings, Yokohama singled with two outs, but failed to score.
