Akihiro Yano drove in three runs in a 2-for-4 outing as the Central League-leading Hanshin Tigers rallied from a four-run deficit en route to a 7-4 victory over the Yomiuri Giants on Tuesday.
Aarom Baldiris had an RBI single followed by Yano's run-scoring single, and Hanshin took advantage of two errors to cut the deficit to 4-3 in the fourth inning at Koshien Stadium. The win left Hanshin with a magic number of 46.
In the fifth, a Mitsunobu Takahashi single with runners at first and second tied the game before Shinjiro Hiyama had an RBI groundout for the go-ahead run.
