The Yomiuri Giants might have had a celebration planned for Friday night, but the Yokohama BayStars had a game to win.

Yoshitomo Tsutsugo hit a come-from-behind three-run home run in the sixth, and Takayuki Kajitani gave the BayStars some breathing room with a two-run shot in top of the ninth as Yokohama rallied for a 6-3 win over the Giants in front of 45,897 fans at Tokyo Dome.

The win pulled the BayStars within a half-game of the Chunichi Dragons for fourth place in the Central League. Yokohama is already assured of a 13th consecutive losing season, but still has a chance to finish as high as fourth in the standings for the first time since 2007.
