Zelous Wheeler hit his third homer in two games and drove in three runs to lead the Tohoku Rakuten Eagles in a 6-0 beating of the Yomiuri Giants on Wednesday in interleague play.
Wheeler, who homered twice and drove in six runs in Tuesday's 13-5 shellacking, went 2-for-3 with a walk. His third-inning RBI single opened the scoring against Mitsuo Yoshikawa (0-1) and he sealed the game with his 11th home run, a two-run shot, in the seventh.
The win was the fourth straight for the Pacific League-leading Eagles, while the Giants have now lost six straight for the first time this season.
