Chris Holt threw a one-hitter and also scored a run to lead the Yokohama BayStars to a 2-0 victory Saturday afternoon over the Hanshin Tigers.
Holt (6-9) did not allow a walk and struck out five at Yokohama Stadium for his second shutout win of the season. It was the eighth time this season that Hanshin has been blanked.
Hitoshi Tamura and Katsuaki Furuki provided Holt with all the run support he would need with an RBI single in the third inning and a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the fifth.
