If there was any lingering doubt about who Japan's best pitcher was, Tomoyuki Sugano put it to rest.
Just like he did the Tokyo Yakult Swallows' season.
Sugano sent the Yomiuri Giants to the next round of the postseason in style, twirling a no-hitter in the Giants' 4-0 victory over the Tokyo Yakult Swallows on Sunday. The win gave the Giants a two-game sweep of the Central League Climax Series First Stage.
