Craig Brazell went 3-for-5 and Yasuyuki Kataoka drove in three runs Thursday as the Seibu Lions snapped the Hanshin Tigers' six-game winning streak with a 6-3 win in an interleague series between the Central and Pacific League leaders.
Brazell put Seibu on the board with a two-out RBI double in the first inning before Kataoka made it 2-0 in the second with a run-scoring single and capped a three-run sixth with a two-run single to help end the Tigers' longest winning streak of the season.
Hideaki Wakui (6-5) overcame a shaky start to the game to work eight innings at Seibu Dome, holding the Tigers to a run and six hits, including a sixth-inning solo homer by Tomoaki Kanemoto.
