Michihiro Ogasawara went 2-for-4 with three RBIs, Shun Tono held the damage to two runs in eight innings and the Yomiuri Giants continued their hot streak with a 5-2 win over the Hiroshima Carp on Saturday.

The Giants won four in a row for the first time this season, beating the Carp on a day when an official pro baseball game was held in Hiroshima for the first time in 53 years on the anniversary of the 1945 U.S. atomic bombing of the western Japan city.
