Kazuhiro Wada homered twice with three RBIs Tuesday as the Seibu Lions edged the Kintetsu Buffaloes 4-3 at the Osaka Dome to regain a six-game lead in the Pacific League.
An RBI double by Alex Cabrera got the visitors on board in the first inning and Wada connected for a solo blast off Katsuhiko Maekawa (4-9) in the fourth before slamming a two-run shot -- his 16th of the season -- in his next at-bat in the sixth.
Mitsutaka Goto (3-1) allowed four hits that pulled Kintetsu within a run in the bottom half but four Seibu relievers held the Buffaloes scoreless the rest of the way to snap their four-game winning streak. Kiyoshi Toyoda pitched the ninth for his 21st save.
