Takeya Nakamura drove in three runs on three hits, including his 24th homer of the season, as the Seibu Lions beat the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters 7-3 in the Pacific League on Tuesday night.
The PL-leading Lions forced the Fighters to go deep into their bullpen at Asahikawa Starffin Stadium with an impressive hitting display.
Nippon Ham starter Mizuki Hori (2-2) took the loss after surrendering five runs on seven hits and a pair of walks. He exited in the top of a fifth inning in which the Lions would rally for two runs.
