Takayuki Kishi mastered his former club over seven scoreless innings as the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles battered the Seibu Lions for the second straight day, beating the Pacific League leaders 9-1 on Saturday afternoon.
The 33-year-old right-hander who was the Lions' ace before leaving for his hometown of Sendai as a free agent to join the Eagles in 2017, allowed three hits and two walks, while striking out eight.
The Eagles, currently in last place in the PL, lost eight of their first nine games this season against Seibu.
