Coming into this game, it had been a full 27 innings (three games) since the Tigers had recorded an RBI hit. Wednesday’s loss saw them score their lone run on a sacrifice fly, and the game before, it was Teruaki Sato’s home run. On Sunday, their seven runs came on: a two-run homer, a wild pitch, an error, a sac fly, and another two-run homer. Small details, but the bottom line is, run production was not coming terribly easily to these Tigers, especially in Nagoya. Until today. Cleanup hitter Yusuke Ohyama produced four early, and the bottom third of the order added insurance in the final frame. This win should make the trip back to Kansai a little more relaxed.
