If you're looking for the key to beating the Yomiuri Giants at home, the Hiroshima Carp are probably not the team to ask.
Hisayoshi Chono hit a grand slam, rookie pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano notched the first RBI of his career, and the Giants beat the Carp at home again, winning 6-2 in front of a crowd of 45,742 on Saturday afternoon at Tokyo Dome.
The Kyojin are 13-0-1 in their last 14 games against the Carp at the Big Egg. Not that anyone else has had much luck either. Yomiuri is 15-1-1 at home this season, with its lone setback an 8-1 drubbing at the hands of the Hanshin Tigers on April 18.
