Onelki Garcia carried a no-hit bid into the eighth inning and singled in a run as the Chunichi Dragons shut out the Hiroshima Carp 5-0 on Wednesday.
Garcia (10-4) allowed a hit and walked two, while striking out eight as the lefty outlasted Hiroshima right-hander Akitake Okada (6-4). The win allowed the Dragons to avoid being swept at home by the league leaders.
"I've never won 10 games in my career before. A lot of these 10 wins are due to the support of the fans and my teammates," said Garcia, who retired the first two batters he faced in the game before the Carp loaded the bases.
