Mitsutaka Goto delivered a tiebreaking double in the fifth
inning and the Orix bullpen held off Lotte after first squandering a
three-run lead at Kyocera Dome.
Satoshi Komatsu (12-3) yielded three runs on five hits in seven
innings before handing the game over to relievers Tsuyoshi
Kikuchihara and Daisuke Kato, who picked up his 32nd save. Submarine
hurler Shunsuke Watanabe (12-6) was charged with the loss.
Orix went ahead 3-0 in the second inning on four consecutive
hits, only for Lotte to tie the game at 3-all on an RBI single by
Daisuke Hayakawa and Tasuku Hashimoto's two-run double in the third.
