NPB Central League: Dragons 4 vs 2 Tigers

Miguel Sanó provided explosive power for the Chunichi Dragons on August 25th, crushing a two-run home run—his 19th of the season—in the bottom of the 6th inning against the Hanshin Tigers. Stepping into the batter’s box in the 6th frame with a runner on, the hard-hitting slugger jumped all over a pitch, sending a towering rocket deep over the wall to bring his season home run tally to 19. Sanó finished the day 1-for-4 with two RBIs, a run scored, and a home run. Closing in on the impressive 20-home-run milestone while maintaining a .221 season average, Sanó continues to serve as an indispensable middle-of-the-order power source for the Dragons.
