Yomiuri hurler Yusaku Iriki scattered five hits over the distance and won his first complete game in three seasons as the Giants bounced back from a hammering the night before to beat the Chunichi Dragons 3-1 at the Tokyo Dome on Wednesday.
Iriki walked two and struck out nine batters to remain unbeaten for his third win.
With Chunichi up 1-0 in the first inning, Akira Eto belted a solo homer off Yukinaga Maeda (1-4) to tie the game.
