Hideaki Wakui pitched a two-hit shutout and picked up his first win of the season Tuesday as the Chiba Lotte Marines beat the Pacific League-leading Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks 6-0.

Wakui (1-1) struck out seven without issuing a single walk at Zozo Marine Stadium to help the Marines snap a four-game losing streak.

"When I took the mound in the ninth, the fans cheered for me very loudly so I thought I could do this. It's amazing," said Wakui, who was making his third start of the season.
