Who would have thought that the outcome of first series at Es Con Field Hokkaido would (in part) be determined by two bit-players who got traded for each other this past offseason? Taiga Egoshi showed up his old mates by robbing them of several base hits in center, throwing out a runner at third, hitting a home run in one game, and scoring the winning run in another. The Tigers scored their lone victory thanks to Ryo Watanabe hitting an RBI single in Sunday’s game, which was the lone run scored as the Tigers managed to avoid an embarrassing sweep on the road. Back to Koshien this week for the last six games of interleague play. Left on schedule: two of the better PL teams in the Orix Buffaloes and SoftBank Hawks.
