Takumi Kuriyama's eighth-inning, bases-loaded RBI single lifted the Saitama Seibu Lions to a 4-2 come-from-behind win over the Orix Buffaloes on Sunday.

Tomoya Mori drew a bases-loaded walk to tie the game, and Kuriyama singled to right field against Buffaloes reliever Sachiya Yamasaki to put the visitors ahead in the four-run inning at Kyocera Dome.

"I haven't been able to hit at important moments so far this season, so I really wanted to drive in the winner," the 35-year-old Kuriyama said.
