Brian Wolfe worked seven efficient innings for the Seibu Lions, who beat the Chiba Lotte Marines 2-1 in the Pacific League on Sunday afternoon.
Wolfe (4-0) threw just 69 pitches before leaving the mound having allowed just two singles. The 36-year-old former Toronto Blue Jays reliever is now 8-0 in nine starts with the Lions, whom he joined last summer.
"It's good to get groundballs quick," said Wolfe, who struck out only two, but got 13 batters to ground out in a game that lasted 2 hours and 10 minutes at MetLife Dome. "We had a good game plan. We attacked the zone today, got ground balls and the defense made great plays. It's great to pitch here with all the fans.
