Tadahito Iguchi went 3-for-4 with three RBIs and lefty Toshiya Sugiuchi pitched a six-hitter as the Pacific League-leading Fukuoka Daiei Hawks downed the Chiba Lotte Marines 6-2 at Fukuoka Dome on Tuesday.
Sugiuchi (5-7) struck out 14 batters and walked just two en route to his third complete-game victory of the year.
Down 1-0 in the third, Iguchi nailed a two-run homer off Lotte starter Nathan Minchey (10-6) to give Daiei the lead. Iguchi doubled home a run in the fifth.
