Daisuke Miura allowed a run over the distance to earn his third straight win as the Yokohama BayStars stomped the Central League-leading Yomiuri Giants 10-1 on Thursday.
The BayStars, who finished last in the CL in five of the last six seasons, swept a three-game series from the Giants for the first time in eight years. The fifth-place BayStars moved to within 7-1/2 games of first place.
The 40-year-old Miura (3-4) held Yomiuri scoreless until Giants captain Shinnosuke Abe homered in the ninth. The right-hander allowed nine hits but no walks, while striking out nine.
