NPB Central League: Yokohama DeNA BayStars 4 vs 3 Carp
Jerar Encarnacion came through in the clutch on August 8th, launching a game-tying 7th home run of the season in the bottom of the 8th inning against the Hiroshima Toyo Carp. Trailing by a run late in the ballgame, the BayStars’ powerful slugger connected with raw authority, driving a solo blast deep into the stands to knot the score and ignite Yokohama’s late-game surge. Encarnacion finished the day 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored on his 7th big fly of the year. By maintaining a stellar .303 season average and delivering heroic long balls when his team needs them most, Encarnacion continues to serve as an indispensable middle-of-the-order force for Yokohama.
