In a pitchers' duel with scoring opportunities at a premium, Nobumasa Fukuda's three-run home run made all the difference as the Chunichi Dragons came from behind to beat the Central League-leading Yomiuri Giants 3-1 on Saturday.

Giants right-hander Seishu Hatake (0-1) held the Dragons to four base runners over six scoreless innings at Nagoya Dome.

Kazuma Okamoto opened the scoring in the fourth against Dragons starter Akiyoshi Katsuno with his league-best 15th home run.
