Shunsuke Watanabe made himself at home on the mound at windy Jingu Stadium on Wednesday night.
Used to pitching in the gusting winds at his home park on the Chiba bayside, the submarine righty allowed three singles and a walk over seven innings and drove in a run as the Chiba Lotte Marines beat the Tokyo Yakult Swallows 6-0.
"It's the best I've pitched all year," said Watanabe, who won for the first time since May 9. "I'm used to the wind, although I don't know this park well. I just concentrated as best I could."
