Hanshin closer Oh Seung-hwan blew the save and the game as the Tigers let the Central League-leading Yomiuri Giants walk off with a 4-3 victory Tuesday.
With the Tigers up 3-2 in the bottom of the ninth inning, CL saves leader Oh (1-3) allowed a leadoff double to Shinnosuke Abe, who had brought the Giants within one with a two-run shot in the sixth.
Oh's wild pitch advanced pinch runner Takanori Suzuki to third, and a sac fly by Shuichi Murata brought home the tying run. The South Korean then walked Kenji Yano, who moved to second on another wild pitch by Oh.
