Furuya strikes out five straight batters in the fourth inning, but the pressure is too much for him. He taps the ball to first to end the inning. The next batter, nagata, hits a two-run home run, cutting the gap to five runs. The gap shrinks to two runs if the slider is not doing its job, and the gap shrinks again if the pitch is too high.
