The Seibu Lions came from behind to beat the Orix Buffaloes 7-4 on Sunday to run their season-opening win streak to eight games.
The Buffaloes small-balled their way to a 2-0 lead, giving starter Taisuke Yamaoka the edge in a pitchers' duel with Seibu's Brian Wolfe.
A walk, a sacrifice, and an RBI single opened the scoring in the first for the Buffaloes, and Stefen Romero singled in the fifth and scored from third on the delayed front end of a double steal.
