The New York Sharks picked up a win at Shark Stadium, downing the St Louis Sluggers, 4-2. On the mound for New York was left-hander Yusei Kikuchi, who played a pivotal role in the win. Kikuchi, now 16-7, was the winner. In 6 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 7, walking 2, and allowing 2 runs. Aroldis Chapman converted his 4th save in 4 tries.

The Sharks got a big at-bat from center fielder Cody Bellinger. For the game, Bellinger went 1 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the first, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 32nd home run of the season gave New York a 2-0 lead.

"I just tried to focus on getting that first guy out every inning," said Kikuchi.

New York is 78-83 and St Louis, with the loss, 87-74.
