Kazuya Fukuura hit a two-run homer and catcher Tomoya Satozaki and Kenji Morozumi had two RBIs apiece as the Chiba Lotte Marines matched a season-high 14 hits and sent the Osaka Kintetsu Buffaloes to their third straight loss with a 7-4 win on Saturday.
Fukuura's sixth shot of the season put the visitors on the scoreboard in the first inning and the Marines extended the lead to 6-1 by the end of the sixth at Osaka Dome.
Brian Sikorski (2-1) allowed one run in seven innings while Masahide Kobayashi worked the ninth for his 10th save. Tuffy Rhodes hit his league-leading 14th homer in the sixth.
