Former Los Angeles Dodger Mike Bolsinger allowed just a run en route to winning his 10th straight start as the Chiba Lotte Marines trounced the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters 9-1 on Saturday.
Bolsinger (11-1) gave up three hits and a walk over 5-2/3 innings, when he was pulled with no one on after just 84 pitches with mild cramping in his legs.
The 30-year-old right-hander struck out four at Zozo Marine Stadium as he lowered his ERA to 2.16 for the Marines, who started the day in a three-way tie for third place.
