Japhet Amador followed up a three-homer game with his first walk-off blast in Japan to give the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles a come-from-behind 3-2 win against the Orix Buffaloes on Sunday.
The Eagles tied the game at two in the eighth thanks to Hiroaki Shimauchi's two-run shot off Yuki Nishi (4-5), who had breezed through the first seven innings.
Amador, who went deep three times a day earlier, led off the ninth by homering on the fifth pitch he saw from Nishi for his 13th round-tripper of the season.
