There were four players, all pitchers, on the hero interview podium for the Chiba Lotte Marines on Saturday afternoon.
One for each win of their current run.
Mike Bolsinger threw six innings, the Lotte batters came up with just enough timely hitting and the suddenly streaking Marines picked up their fourth straight win with a 3-1 victory over the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters on a windy and slightly chilly afternoon at Zozo Marine Stadium.
