Yudai Ono looked like he'd barely broken a sweat as he walked out of Tokyo Dome. The ease with which he went up and down the Yomiuri Giants' lineup hadn't given him much of a chance to work up one.

Ono threw a three-hit shutout, Nobumasa Fukuda and Ricardo Nanita hit home runs, and the Chunichi Dragons beat the Yomiuri Giants 5-0 in front of a crowd of 41,032 on Tuesday night at the Big Egg.

"I'm happy I was able to get in a rhythm and stay in it all game," Ono said.
