Even the return of Shigeo Nagashima couldn't inspire the underachieving Yomiuri Giants.
Former Giants manager Shigeo Nagashima sits in the stand prior to Sunday's Yomiuri-Hiroshima
game at Tokyo Dome. It was Nagashima's first public appearance since suffering a stroke in
March last year.
Mike Romano went eight strong innings Sunday, striking out eight and giving up one run on five hits as the Hiroshima Carp downed the Yomiuri Giants 4-1 at Tokyo Dome to spoil the return of the legendary former player and manager of the Giants.
