Jason Standridge threw a four-hit shutout to lead the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks to their third consecutive win in a 2-0 victory over the Seibu Lions on Saturday.
Standridge (2-0) struck out three and walked one in a 115-pitch outing and didn't allow a runner to reach third base at Seibu Prince Dome. He pitched his seventh career shutout in Japanese baseball.
Yuki Yanagita had a one-out double in the fourth and came around to score on a throwing error by outfielder Shogo Akiyama when Seiichi Uchikawa flied out to center. Yuya Hasegawa added an RBI groundout to cap the scoring in the seventh.
