Both Nishioka and Fukudome were on display against the Marines and started well. Both figured for only three innings and were then replaced. Nishioka managed a brace of hits and Fukudome drove in both Tigers runs. Tigers were then shut out for the next six innings and failed to hold their lead. Once again the issue was Enokida who gave up four runs - let's hope he gets it out of his system by the start of the season. Final score 4-2.
