Chunichi Dragons fans turned out in droves for a chance to see their team clinch a league title.
Alex Ramirez and Dicky Gonzalez helped the Yomiuri Giants spoil those plans.
The red-hot Ramirez put the Giants ahead with a solo homer in the fourth inning, and Yoshinobu Takahashi went deep in the fifth to back Gonzalez's second straight sterling start against the Dragons in the Giants' 4-1 win on Saturday at Tokyo Dome.
