Garrett Jones might have felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders over the past two nights at Tokyo Dome.
In two games against the Chunichi Dragons this week, on Wednesday and Thursday, the Yomiuri Giants outfielder was 4-for-8 with a home run and eight RBIs. It's only a small sample size, but for Jones, who has played better away from Tokyo Dome than in the Big Egg for most of the year, it was another big step in the right direction.
"I'm feeling good," Jones said. "It's nice to have success at Tokyo Dome. For some reason I had trouble tracking the ball here. I finally feel like I've figured out what I need to do here. I've been feeling comfortable and just trying to finish strong."
