Tomoyuki Sugano allowed himself a brief expression of frustration after allowing an earned run for the first time in more than a month.

He took out the rest of his annoyance on the Hiroshima Carp batters.

Sugano threw a complete game and was aided by a tiebreaking single by Hayato Sakamoto and home runs by Garrett Jones and Shuichi Murata, as the Yomiuri Giants beat the Hiroshima Carp 4-2 in front of a crowd of 45,793 on Thursday afternoon at Tokyo Dome.
