Ishii proved that he still has it when he shut down the Yomiuri lineup tonight. He allowed one run off of only four hits in eight innings of work!
His seven K's were qualified by a pair of walks and one plunked batter.
He maintained decent control of his slider from start to finish, and he displayed some very good glovework on the defensive end of things.
Miyade (solo home run) and Guiel (bloop single, Iihara scored from 3rd) were responsible for Tokyo's two runs.
Final score:
Tokyo 2 - Yomiuri 1
Winning Pitcher: Ishii
Losing Pitcher: Takahashi
Save: Takatsu
