Lee Seung Yeop collected three hits with an RBI and Seth Greisinger pitched eight solid innings as the Yomiuri Giants pulled out a 3-2 win over the Hanshin Tigers on Saturday.
Lee, who helped the South Korean baseball team win the gold medal at the Beijing Olympics, singled in the opening run in the first inning and led off the sixth with another base hit before back-to-back RBI doubles by Shinnosuke Abe and Hayato Sakamoto pushed Yomiuri's lead to 3-0.
Greisinger (13-8) became the first 13-game winner in the Central League after giving up just one run and four hits at Koshien Stadium, including a Takashi Toritani RBI triple in the sixth.
