A trio of former big leaguers led the Pacific League-leading Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles to a come-from-behind, 4-3 victory over the Seibu Lions on Tuesday.
Andruw Jones trimmed the deficit to 3-1, when he led off the fifth inning with his 20th home run. With two outs and two on in the eighth inning, former Milwaukee Brewer Casey McGehee hit his 23rd homer of the season, and former big league All-Star Takashi Saito worked the ninth for his third save.
Left-handed side-armer Norihito Kaneto (1-0), who worked 1 1/3 in relief of starter Kenny Ray, earned his first victory in two years.
