At Seibu Dome, Hiroyuki Nakajima hit a three-run homer and Takeya Nakamura followed with a solo blast in a seven-run uprising in the fifth inning as Seibu won its fourth in a row in a victory over Nippon Ham to move into fourth place in the PL standings.
One of those five was Grace Huff's 13th homer of the season, a solo blast high over the left field fence off a 1-2 offering with one out in the bottom of the first.
Tadahito Iguchi hit a two-run homer with two outs in the first and Chase Lambin added a solo blast in the second -- both off of Rakuten starter Darrell Rasner (2-2).
