Bobby Keppel threw seven solid innings and Kensuke Tanaka went 4-for-5 with two RBIs and three runs scored as the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters completed a three-game sweep of the Chiba Lotte Marines with a 10-3 rout on Sunday.
Former Minnesota Twins reliever Keppel (10-1) allowed two runs on seven hits, struck out eight and walked one at Sapporo Dome. The right-hander tied the Seibu Lions' Hideaki Wakui and the Softbank Hawks' Tsuyoshi Wada for the most wins in Japanese baseball.
Tanaka doubled down the right-field line for an RBI and Hichori Morimoto followed with a two-run single to left, pushing the Fighters' lead to 7-2 in the sixth inning.
