Osamu Hamanaka homered twice, went 3-for-3 and had five RBIs as the Hanshin Tigers shelled the Yakult Swallows in a 16-hit attack for a 12-5 victory in the Central League on Saturday.
Trey Moore (2-0), who was 2-for-3 himself and scored a run, took a five-hitter over seven sharp innings, allowing just one run with no walks and five strikeouts at Osaka Dome as Hanshin won three straight for the second time this season.
Hamanaka hit a solo blast in the first followed by an RBI double in the third and capped his stellar performance with a three-run homer in a five-run fourth. Atsushi Kataoka added a two-run shot in the eighth.
