Abe Has Hot Hand, Bangs 5 hits
5 times is the charm -- at least for Toshiki Abe.

The Chunichi Dragons second baseman tore up the Tokyo Yakult Swallows to the tune of 5 hits in 5 at-bats at Nagoya Dome today. The offensive onslaught from Abe powered the Dragons to a 10-2 win.

"Abe was a tough out today," Tokyo Yakult manager said to the press in the postgame interview. "He hit some very good pitches with that quick bat of his. Not an easy out, that's for sure."

Toshiki Abe singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI double in the 6th and singled in the 8th.

Thus far in 2021 Abe is hitting .261 with 6 home runs, 44 RBIs, 47 runs scored and has compiled a .299 OBP.
