Tomoyuki Sugano surrendered the lead on a slider. So it was only fitting the Yomiuri Giants ace used one to get it back.
Sugano allowed a game-tying home run in the top of the fifth inning, then took matters into his own hands with a tiebreaking solo shot in the bottom half to give the Kyojin a lead they wouldn¡¯t relinquish in a 6-3 victory over the Yokohama BayStars on Friday night at Tokyo Dome.
¡°My pitching wasn¡¯t so great, but I¡¯m happy about the home run,¡± Sugano said.
