At Kyocera Dome, Tuffy Rhodes hit his league-leading 25th homer
and Hirotoshi Kitagawa, Ryota Aikawa and Alex Cabrera also went deep
as Orix thrashed Rakuten for its third straight win.
Kitagawa ignited the offense with a first-inning RBI single and
added a third-inning solo homer that made it 3-0. Rhodes had a
two-run shot and Aikawa followed with his drive in the sixth before
Cabrera's seventh-inning two-run homer capped the scoring.
Ryota Katsuki (1-0) got his first win in three seasons while
Hiroshi Katayama (2-2) lasted only 3-1/3 innings
