Back in April when the Tigers were struggling worse than any team in NPB, my friend Steve said this series would be a battle between the two worst teams in NPB. He wasn’t wrong. In fact, I distinctly told him that by June 3, the Tigers would not be worse than the Fighters, at the very least. It took until 9:50 pm on June 3 for that to happen, but this sweep has left Tsuyoshi Shinjo and all of his flash a little more tarnished than it was at the start of the weekend. The Tigers have now won 5 straight (thanks in large part to Yusuke Ohyama hitting 5 homers in that stretch!) and fifth place is just a game out of reach!
