Brand new ball, same old Rami-chan.
Alex Ramirez snapped a long homer-less drought with a tiebreaking shot in the sixth inning and Shun Tono won for the first time in six starts as the Yomiuri Giants topped the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles 4-2 on Friday in front of a crowd of 40,039 at Tokyo Dome.
"I was able to come through with a hit to tie the game in the first inning and happy I hit the go-ahead home run in the sixth," Ramirez said.
