Takeya Nakamura hit his 16th and 17th home runs of the season to bring the Seibu Lions from behind in an 11-4 win over the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters on Monday.

With one out in the third inning and the Lions trailing 2-1 at Tokyo Dome, the Fighters' former home park, Nakamura put Seibu in front with one swing against Hirotoshi Takanashi (3-7).

"I homered, but with a runner on third, my principle goal was to bring him home," said Nakamura, a six-time Pacific League home run champ.
