Taketoshi Goto's two-out, pinch-hit double and a fluke infield single by Toshihiko Kuramoto lifted the Yokohama BayStars to their third consecutive walk-off win, beating the Hiroshima Carp 5-4 on Thursday.

BayStars starter Shota Imanaga allowed four runs over five innings, but three Yokohama relievers held the Central League leaders to just a walk and two hits over the final four innings.

"The relievers did an amazing job, and that is why we were able to come back," BayStars manager Alex Ramirez said.
