Taiwanese pitcher Chang Chih-chia tossed a one-hitter Saturday to lead the Seibu Lions to a 3-0 victory over the Chiba Lotte Marines.
Chang (4-2), who set a Japanese record of 28 consecutive innings with strikeouts in August last year, struck out 10 and walked just two batters in his 113-pitch outing before a crowd of 27,000 at Chiba Marine Stadium.
Chang got at least one strikeout in all but the first inning. Lotte's only hit came on a double by Takashi Kita in the third.
