03/27/2007 ORIX Buffaloes vs HOKKAIDO NIPPON HAM Fighters

Buffaloes 5, Fighters 2

Chad Allen, formerly of the Kansas City Royals, broke a 2-2 tie
with a two-run bases-loaded double with one out in the sixth and
Arihito Muramatsu added insurance with a RBI infield single in Orix's
come-from-behind victory over Nippon Ham.

Orix right-handed starter Tom Davey (1-0) limited the damage to
two runs, despite allowing eight hits and two walks in 6-2/3 innings
for the win. Reliever Lance Carter got three outs in the ninth for
the save at Kyocera Dome in Osaka.

Nippon Ham right-hander Satoru Kanemura (0-1) took the loss,
snapping a 15-game winning streak against Orix. Fernando Seguignol
opened the scoring with a two-run blast in the fourth, but Greg
LaRocca retorted in the bottom half with a two-run drive of his own.

What the hell is Allen's problem? If he's that frustrated in Japan, it's going to be a long season for him. He should get familiar with the farm team players.
