Makoto Imaoka and George Arias homered as the Hanshin Tigers scratched out a 3-3 tie against the Yomiuri Giants at the Tokyo Dome on Saturday night.
Hanshin starter Kyuji Fujikawa allowed three runs and nine hits in 6 2/3 innings and Marc Valdes pitched three shutout innings of relief as the Tigers snapped a two-game losing streak.
"We should've won that game," said Hoshino. "Fujikawa and Valdes did their job tonight but we just left too many runners on base."
