Fumiya Hojo had three hits and drove in two runs to pace the Hanshin Tigers to a 6-3 win over the Central League-leading Hiroshima Carp on Wednesday.

Trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the third, Hojo's one-out single off right-hander Allen Kuri (4-3) tied the game at Koshien Stadium. Hayata Ito's RBI infield single put the Tigers ahead and Effren Navarro capped the four-run inning with a two-run single.

Hojo singled in an insurance run in the fourth, and right-hander Hiroto Saiki (3-3) earned the win after allowing three runs — two earned — in five-plus innings.
