NISHINOMIYA, Hyogo Pref. – Left-hander Kotaro Otake continued his impressive start to the season with six innings of one-run ball Saturday as the Hanshin Tigers beat the Yokohama DeNA BayStars 7-2 and tied with them for first place in the Central League.
Otake (5-0) has won all five of his starts in 2023 after the former Fukuoka SoftBank Hawk was picked by the Tigers in last December’s draft for active players.
He allowed four hits while striking out four and walking one at Koshien Stadium.
