The Yomiuri Giants belted three home runs for the sixth straight game and Tomoyuki Sugano went eight innings as the Kyojin clobbered the Chunichi Dragons 8-2 on Saturday afternoon.
Before 43,599 at Tokyo Dome, offseason free-agent acquisition Daikan Yoh hit his fourth homer in three games, a three-run shot in the fourth that put the game out of reach.
Sugano (12-4) surrendered seven hits and a walk, while striking out 12. After a 1-2-3 first inning, he allowed the visiting Dragons to get on the board in the second, Dayan Viciedo singling and scoring on Atsushi Fujii's two-out double.
