Tomoyuki Sugano said his pitching was just "so-so."
The Tokyo Yakult Swallows and their red-hot lineup might beg to differ.
The Yomiuri Giants ace held the Swallows in check for the better part of seven innings, his teammates reminded everyone they're pretty good at the plate, too, and the Kyojin earned a 6-1 win over their crosstown rivals in front of a crowd of 46,650 at Tokyo Dome on Friday night.
