The Hiroshima Carp battered Chunichi Dragons starter Onelki Garcia on their way to a 6-2 win in the Central League on Tuesday night.

Hiroshima's red-hot batting lineup sent Garcia (11-6) to an early shower after scoring five runs in the opening three innings, including three in the bottom of the first.

Kris Johnson (9-2) got the win for the CL-leading Carp after going seven innings deep. He struck out five and allowed two runs on five hits, with one walk.
