Though it was close, Hirokazu Sawamura wasn't quite the best pitcher on the mound Friday night.
The rookie hurler won't lose much sleep over that. He was the one who walked away with the win after all.
Sawamura pieced together a solid outing, buoyed by big hits from Hisayoshi Chono and Michihiro Ogasawara, as the Giants edged the Tokyo Yakult Swallows 3-2 in front of a crowd of 42,291 at Tokyo Dome.
