NPB Central League : Swallows 1 vs 5 Carp

Domingo Santana provided late-game power for the Tokyo Yakult Swallows on August 30th, crushing a solo home run—his 16th of the season—in the top of the 7th inning against the Hiroshima Toyo Carp. Stepping into the box in the 7th frame, the Swallows’ power hitter made solid contact on a pitch, driving it high and deep over the fence. Santana finished the afternoon 1-for-4 with a home run, an RBI, a run scored, and zero strikeouts, maintaining his season batting average at .245. Continuing to build on his home run tally, Santana remains a vital power threat in Yakult’s middle of the order.
