Sendai – Hiroto Takahashi allowed two runs, none earned, over 6⅔ innings to pick up the win as the Central League’s Chunichi Dragons completed this year’s interleague session with a 5-2 victory over the Pacific League’s Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles.
At Sendai’s Rakuten Mobile Park Miyagi, the Eagles became the first PL team to score off Takahashi (3-6) this season. The right-hander scattered five hits and four walks but held Rakuten scoreless until he made one of two run-scoring errors in the seventh.
Chunichi opened the scoring in the first when Yohei Oshima doubled and scored on a Yuki Okabayashi single. Oshima singled in a run in the Dragons’ two-run second, and Seiya Hosokawa’s ninth home run made it 4-0 in the third.
