Hisayoshi Chono hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the seventh inning and hard-throwing rookie Hirokazu Sawamura threw his career first complete-game as the Yomiuri Giants came from behind to beat the Seibu Lions 4-1 on Tuesday night.
Takeya Nakamura gave the Lions a 1-0 lead with a leadoff blast in the fifth — his PL leading 11th home run — before the Giants mounted a rally in the interleague game at Seibu Dome.
Daisuke Fujimura reached on an uncaught third strike with none out in the seventh and Chono pounced on an 0-1 pitch by left-hander Kazuhisa Ishii (2-2) to give Yomiuri a 2-1 lead.
