Keiichi Yabu scattered eight hits and gave up three runs over 7 1/3 innings to pick up his third win of the season as the Hanshin Tigers defeated the Hiroshima Carp 6-3 Wednesday evening at Hiroshima Stadium.
The Carp took a 2-0 lead when Koichi Ogata homered for two runs off Yabu in the bottom of the second inning.
But the Tigers responded with George Arias' game-tying two-run roundtripper in the top of the fourth inning. It was Arias' fifth clout of the season.
