A few seasons ago, Chunichi Dragons third baseman Masahiko Morino earned the nickname "Mr. Three Run" for his uncanny penchant for hitting three-run homers.
A new moniker might be in order soon because recently — no matter how many men are on base — the runs are flowing almost every time he steps up to the plate.
The Dragons have demolished nearly anything and everything in their path in recent weeks and Morino has been the headliner of the Nagoya club's attack.
