Tomoyuki Sugano had a week to stew over his poor performance in his last game against the Hiroshima Carp.

When he got another shot at them, the Yomiuri Giants ace showed the best team in the Central League why he's the best pitcher in Japan.

Sugano struck out 11 over eight shutout frames, Hayato Sakamoto broke a scoreless tie with a two-run home run in the sixth and the Giants rolled to a 4-0 victory over the Carp on Friday night at Tokyo Dome.
