Giants Rebuff Carp, 6-4
The YO (Ni-Gun) Giants used the hitting of first baseman Masaki Mimori to subdue the HT (Ni-Gun) Carp, 6-4. For the game, Mimori went 3 for 4 with 3 doubles. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Daisuke Naoe earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 1.2 innings. He upped his record to 9-1. Yuta Muto was credited with the save, his 19th in 21 tries.

The game turned with two out in the bottom of the fourth. That's when Mimori hit a 2-run double off Kyohei Nakamura. It propelled the Giants into the lead, 2-0.

"If it's down the middle," said Mimori, "you might as well hit it."

YO (Ni-Gun), at 49-36, is 3 games up in the Western League.
