Tomoaki Kanemoto hit a "sayonara" solo homer leading off the ninth inning as the Hanshin Tigers edged the Hiroshima Carp 1-0 at Koshien Stadium on Tuesday.
Kanemoto drove a 1-1 forkball from Ryuji Yokoyama (0-2) into the left-field seats for his ninth home run of the season. Veteran left-hander Tsuyoshi Shimoyanagi (3-2) pitched his first complete-game shutout in six years, allowing just two hits and four walks.
