Second-year southpaw Tomoyuki Kaida (1-1) held the Seibu Lions on one run over six innings to win his first career game as the Orix Buffaloes defeated the league leaders 2-1 on Wednesday.

Buffaloes cleanup hitter Lee Dae Ho had two of his team's three hits, an RBI single and a tie-breaking solo homer in the top of the seventh.

"It feels good to get a win at last," said Kaida, who was 0-4 as a rookie in 2012. "From the end of last season, all through the winter and up to now, I've been doing my best to get this win."
