Giants Score Late to Beat Dragons, 3-2
The YO Giants had to overcome a fine effort from CH pitcher Hirotoshi Takanashi to win, 3-2, in 10 innings at Tokyo Dome. Takanashi went 6 innings and allowed 2 runs. The Central League-leading Giants have a record of 54-31.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when YO shortstop Hayato Sakamoto, facing Yusuke Kinoshita, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Giants the 3-2 win.

"The crowd was boisterous tonight," said Sakamoto.
