Yomiuri slugger Kazuhiro Kiyohara celebrated his return to the team Friday night, smashing a pinch-hit three-run homer in the seventh inning as the Giants triumphed over the Chunichi Dragons 9-1 at the Tokyo Dome.
Kiyohara had played on the farm team since May 24 after suffering a hamstring injury.
Akira Etoh doubled in the opening run in a three-run third and Yoshinobu Takahashi belted a three-run homer off Chunichi starter Melvin Bunch (7-5) in the fifth.
