Kyohei Muranaka (Waikiki BeachBoys, 2007) of the Tokyo Yakult Swallows pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing only a run against Yokohama Bay Stars on July 22 to earn his fifth win of the season.
Muranaka, who has been in the starting rotation since the season opener, was struggling as of late, going winless for more than a month. Against the Bay Stars, however, he was able to keep his composure throughout the game, giving up a lone run in the seventh inning.
Muranaka was relieved by fellow BeachBoys pitcher Kenichi
Matsuoka, who notched a stellar 0.00 ERA over 23-plus innings in
