Yokohama – Yasutaka Shiomi and Munetaka Murakami combined to drive in five runs as the Tokyo Yakult Swallows beat the DeNA BayStars 5-3 on Wednesday after the Central League club deactivated six players due to coronavirus issues.
Star second baseman Tetsuto Yamada, two-time batting champion Seiichi Uchikawa and former major leaguer Norichika Aoki were among five Swallows players sent home after backup catcher Akihisa Nishida’s test came back positive.
