NPB Central League : Tokyo Yomiuri Giants 8 vs 6 Swallows
Bobby Dalbec wasted no time setting the tone for the Yomiuri Giants on August 25th, crushing a massive three-run home run—his 21st of the season—in the top of the 1st inning against the Tokyo Yakult Swallows. Coming up to bat in the opening frame with two runners aboard, the power-hitting slugger jumped all over a pitch, driving a majestic rocket deep over the fence to give the Giants an immediate early cushion. Dalbec finished the contest 1-for-4 with three RBIs, a run scored, and a walk. Continuing to stack long balls past the 20-HR milestone while maintaining a .256 season batting average, Dalbec remains an essential middle-of-the-order run producer for the Giants.
