Derrick May went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and three RBIs as the Chiba Lotte Marines pounded the Osaka Kintetsu Buffaloes 11-3 Monday night at Chiba Marine Stadium.
Lotte starter Shingo Ono (1-1) earned the win after allowing one run on five hits and five walks in six innings.
The Buffaloes struck first, putting runners on first and second before Ono loaded the bases by walking Kintetsu third baseman Norihiro Nakamura. Koichi Isobe's sacrifice fly allowed Eiji Mizuguchi to score from third.
