Blown Lead, Saved Lead: 2 April Scores That Matter [WMQ]

Rakuten gets the nod for today's picture since the Carp blew their lead on the Giants.

2 April

NPB
Yomiuri Giants (5) at Hiroshima Carp (4). The Carp fall to 1-5-0 in last in the Central League.
Softbank Hawks (6) at Rakuten Golden Eagles (8). The Eagles are now 3-6-0 and in fifth place in the Pacific League.

When I woke up this morning, the Carp were actually up on the Giants and primed to win. It all fell apart by the time I got to work. Hiroshima couldn’t mound a counter-offensive and dropped another game at home.

Rakuten looks look to end their funk by beating the soft target that is the Hawks of late. The Eagles took the lead early and kept the offense going to stymie the Hawks who continued to mount counteroffensives. Juan Morillo couldn’t quite hold the Hawks to no runs in the 9th, but still managed to hold a two-run lead.

    Clearly, logic shows they lost because you went to work

      You’re so right. I’m never going to work again.

        NOW you’re being logical. (At least as logical as Pooh)
