Ryota Wakiya and Yoshitomo Tani hit key homers and Michihiro Ogasawara drove in four runs as the Yomiuri Giants rallied from an early five-run deficit to beat the Yakult Swallows 11-7 in the Central League on Friday.
Wakiya gave Yomiuri the lead for good at 8-7 with a sixth-inning two-run shot, and Tani capped the scoring with a pinch-hit, three-run drive in the seventh in a wild game at Tokyo Dome that featured 24 hits, including five homers.
A Hiroyasu Tanaka two-run homer helped the Swallows to a 5-0 lead in the top of the first inning before Yomiuri began its rally in the bottom half with an RBI double by Ogasawara and an Alex Ramirez two-run homer.
