A day after he robbed himself of a home run, Orix's Chris Marrero made no mistakes, when his solo homer helped the Buffaloes to a 5-3 win over the Chunichi Dragons on Saturday.

Marrero opened the scoring with his first homer in NPB, leading off the fourth inning at Kyocera Dome with a blast into the upper deck in left center. On Friday, he reached the seats with his first NPB hit, only to see it ruled a triple — he was called out at home on appeal because he stepped over home plate but not on it.

This time, the former San Francisco Giants and Washington Nationals outfielder planted both feet firmly on home base to the delight of the 30,472 in attendance.
