Shinnosuke Abe hit a solo homer with two outs in the 10th inning Sunday to cap the Yomiuri Giants' 5-4 come-from-behind "sayonara" victory over the Hiroshima Carp at the Tokyo Dome on Sunday.
The front-running Giants rallied for two runs on four hits against Hiroshima closer Yasuhiro Oyamada in the bottom of the ninth inning to force extra innings.
Abe's homer completed Yomiuri's three-game sweep of the floundering Carp, who have now lost five in a row for the third time this season.
