Keiichi Yabu pitched his second straight complete game and Makoto Imaoka hit a three-run homer as the Hanshin Tigers crushed the Hiroshima Carp 8-1 Tuesday at Koshien Stadium.
Yabu (2-0) went the distance striking out five with no walks and yielding only five hits. It was his first no-walk game in three years.
Along with Imaoka, first baseman George Arias sparked the Tigers' offense, hitting his second home run of the year -- a two-run shot -- in the eighth inning.
