Taiyo Fujita earned his first career win by pitching a five-hit complete game Tuesday as the Hanshin Tigers crushed the Hiroshima Carp 10-2 at Hiroshima Stadium.
Fujita (1-3), the second-year right-hander, scattered five hits while striking out 10 batters in his eighth appearance this season. He gave up two runs on a ninth-inning, two-run dinger by Carp left fielder Tomoaki Kanemoto.
Norihiro Akahoshi went 5-for-5 and George Arias slammed a three-run homer to highlight Hanshin's seven-run seventh.
