The Dragons are currently riding a 5 game winning streak. They won the final two of three against Yomiuri and swept the Carp in Hiroshima for 5-1 record this week. The win streak has propelled them back into first place in the CL, currently a game ahead of Yakult, their next opponent. The series begins tonight at Jingu Stadium.
- Masa Yamamoto pitched another gem on Sunday, just a day after losing his father. He is now leading the league in ERA. He did not get a win in the game, but the Dragons pulled out the win in the 9th on an RBI double from Yohei Oshima.
- The bats were alive this week. Nice week for Hirata and Wada has been on a tear as well. Wada's now leading the CL in batting average and 2nd in on-base percentage, along with 11 RBIs.
- Shinji Tajima extended his scoreless innings streak to 16 and has still yet to give up a run in his ichi-gun career.
- I caught Saturday's game against Hiroshima on Justin.tv. Shinji Iwata picked up the win and the Dragons broke open a close game in the 7th with 3 runs and won 6 to 1. Chunichi has yet to lose to the Carp this year, they are currently 5-0-1.
- My wife found some replays of recent NPB games, including some Chunichi games on Youku.com. It's a Chinese website, so it's pretty hard to navigate unless you know Chinese, she gets around the site by copying and pasting Chinese words into the search box. Youku/Soku has a lot of Japanese TV shows as well.
