Baseball: Fujioka, Ishikawa lift Marines to victory over Giants
CHIBA (Kyodo) -- Yudai Fujioka homered and drove in three runs to back a scoreless outing by Shuta Ishikawa as the Lotte Marines beat the Yomiuri Giants 5-3 on Wednesday. A moment of silence was observed prior to the game at Zozo Marine Stadium, following Tuesday's death of former Giants star third baseman and manager Shigeo Nagashima at the age of 89. Fujioka hit a two-run homer in the second inning and an RBI single in the third to help Lotte build a 5-0 lead through three innings. Yomiuri got three runs back in the eighth but the rally ended there. Ishikawa (1-2) scattered three hits, three walks and a hit batter over seven innings. Haruto Inoue (3-5) took the loss. Among the day's other games, the Nippon Ham Fighters edged the Hanshin Tigers 5-4 in a matchup between the Pacific League and Central League first-place teams, respectively. Jun Maeda (2-1) struck out 10 and allowed just two hits in eight scoreless innings in the SoftBank Hawks' 8-2 rout of the Chunichi Dragons.
