Second-year right-hander Shintaro Fujinami threw his first career complete game with a 13-strikeout effort, Takahiro Arai drove in two runs on 3-for-4 hitting, and the Hanshin Tigers trounced the Chunichi Dragons 8-1 on Tuesday night.
Fujinami (7-4) was in dominant form, giving up just one unearned run and five hits while walking two in a 143-pitch outing.
"I am simply happy. I wanted to give the bullpen a rest, so it was great to throw a complete game," said Fujinami.
