YT Falls Again, 2-1
YT wasted a solid 6-inning effort from starting pitcher Joichiro Maki, losing to YO, 2-1, at Meiji Jingu Stadium. Yuhei Takanashi closed the door for YO, picking up his 21st save of the year. The slumping Swallows have dropped 6 in a row.

Yoshihiro Maru, who is tied for 7th in the JCL in home runs with 7, had a direct impact on the outcome. Maru contributed a solo home run in the top of the sixth inning to put YO up, 2-0.

"Every loss hurts," said YT manager Hiroyuki Nakajima. "But this was a tough one."
