Kintetsu slugger Norihiro Nakamura homered in consecutive at-bats, three other Buffaloes hit homers and starter Jeremy Powell tossed seven solid innings as Kintetsu powered past the Nippon Ham Fighters 10-1 at the Tokyo Dome on Saturday.
Nakamura slammed a solo homer to lead off the second inning and capped a four-run third with a three-run dinger -- his 38th home run of the year -- as the Buffs extended their win streak to four games.
Powell (17-9) gave up a run on a solo homer by Kuniyuki Kimoto in the seventh, allowed six hits all together, and walked none for his Pacific League-leading 17th win as Nippon Ham suffered its fifth straight loss.
