Alex Ramirez's infield single scored the game-winning run in the bottom of the 11th as the Yakult Swallows edged the Hanshin Tigers 3-2 at Jingu Stadium on Wednesday.

Reliever Ryota Igarashi (5-3) got one out for the win, while Hanshin's Yuya Ando (4-2) worked one-plus innings in taking the loss.

Trailing 1-0 in the sixth, Shinya Miaymoto connected for a single and Akinori Iwamura followed with his 10th homer of the year to put the Swallows ahead.
