At Kyocera Dome, Greg LaRocca drove in the go-ahead run in the
eighth inning as Orix ended its four-game losing skid while snapping
Rakuten's winning streak at five games.
LaRocca singled up the middle off Hideki Asai (3-3) after Alex
Cabrera hit a two-out double and Tuffy Rhodes was intentionally
walked. Kazuo Yamaguchi (2-1) struck out the only batter he faced to
earn the win and Daisuke Kato got his sixth save of the season.
Jose Fernandez hit an RBI single in the third before Orix tied
the score on a Tomotaka Sakaguchi infield single in the bottom half.
