Brandon Dickson threw his first shutout in four years, while Yutaro Sugimoto hit a grand slam in his second straight game as the Orix Buffaloes demolished the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters 11-0 in the Pacific League on Tuesday.

Dickson (2-5) matched his career high 12 strikeouts in a 146-pitch marathon. He surrendered three hits and three walks.

"I threw a lot of pitches. I was fortunate, these guys made a lot of plays and scored a lot of runs. That made it easier," Dickson said after his second shutout in Japan.
