Deunte Heath says the Hiroshima Carp have the best fans in Japan. On Tuesday, he took a big step toward giving them a chance to watch their team play postseason baseball at home for a change.
Heath threw seven scoreless innings, Eishin Soyogi, Raniel Rosario and Brad Eldred each homered and the Carp buried the Tokyo Yakult Swallows in a 7-2 win at Jingu Stadium.
"It's not about the win for me as long as the team does well," Heath said.
