Jose Lopez went 5-for-5 to fuel the Yokohama BayStars' three-run comeback in a 3-3 tie with the Yomiuri Giants on Friday.
Lopez drove in one run and scored the tying run after some adventurous base running, but both bullpens prevented any more runs from scoring until 12 innings were played and the game went in the books as a tie.
BayStars starter Shoichi Ino allowed three runs in six innings, with all scoring in the fourth. Giants second baseman Casey McGehee singled to open the inning and scored on Hayato Sakamoto's 10th homer. Ino got two straight outs but a Daikan Yoh double and a Yoshiyuki Kamei single gave the visitors a 3-0 lead.
