Kazuyoshi Tatsunami hit a grand slam in the bottom of the ninth inning off Yakult's Ryota Igarashi (3-1) to give Chunichi its eighth win in a row and the first "sayonara" victory of the season -- a 7-3 win over Yakult at the Nagoya Dome.
Leo Gomez hit a two-run homer in the eighth for Chunichi to tie the game at 3 and received an intentional walk in the ninth to load the bases for Tatsunami, after Scott Bullett and Kosuke Fukudome led off with back-to-back hits.
Yakult went ahead 3-1 in the sixth with a one-run shot from Alex Ramirez, his sixth of the year.
