Yeah, the gutless Dragons won. But did ya' notice how they got around Wladimir Balentien in his final at bat? He was intentionally walked with nobody on base. Not only did it rob him a chance of tying the game with a homer ... it also robbed him a chance of hitting No. 52 and moving closer to the Japan record of 55. He's going to be seeing more at-bats like this with that home-run record hanging over his head.
