Alex Cabrera and Kazuhiro Wada drilled back-to-back homers for the go-ahead runs in the eighth inning as the Seibu Lions edged the Orix BlueWave 8-7 on Sunday at Green Stadium Kobe.
Tied 6-6 in the eighth, Cabrera nailed his PL-leading 42nd homer of the year for the go-ahead run. Wada, who hit a two-run homer in the fourth, then smacked a solo blast to give the Lions a two-run lead.
Both homers were off Orix reliever Satoshi Tokumoto (1-1) who took the loss.
