Kosuke Fukudome and Kento Itohara got to Yokohama closer Spencer Patton to help lift the Central-League leading Hanshin Tigers 10 games above .500 after a 4-2 win over the BayStars on Sunday.
Patton (2-2) had a 1-2-3 inning in each of his last four outings but allowed Yamato Maeda a single with his first pitch before walking Yoshio Itoi.
Fukudome singled to right to plate the go-ahead run before pinch hitter Itohara drove in another with a two-out, bases-loaded single at Yokohama Stadium.
