Yomiuri Giants fans used their cheers to welcome ace pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano back to the diamond.
The Giants players did it with their bats.
Yoshiyuki Kamei, Akihiro Wakabayashi and Shinnosuke Abe all homered and Sugano made a winning return as the Kyojin beat the Chiba Lotte Marines 11-3 in front of a crowd of 44,959 on Sunday afternoon at Tokyo Dome.
