Yomiuri Giants players Yoshiyuki Kamei and Kazunari Tsuruoka combined to drive in five runs against the Hanshin Tigers on Friday.
Even that was almost not enough to overcome Tomoaki Kanemoto.
Tsuruoka homered twice and Kamei drove in a run with a triple to help the Giants survive another big night at the plate by the red-hot Kanemoto in a 6-5 win over the Tigers on Friday night at Tokyo Dome.
