Kintetsu slugger Norihiro Nakamura homered in back-to-back at-bats, including a go-ahead two-run blast in the eighth, as the Buffaloes came from behind to beat the Lotte Marines 4-3 at the Osaka Dome.
Trailing 2-0 in the sixth, Tuffy Rhodes smashed a solo homer -- his 20th clout of the year -- before Nakamura followed with a solo dinger to tie the game.
In the eighth, after Rhodes drew a walk, Nakamura put the Buffaloes ahead with his 18th homer of the year.
