Taishi Ota made up for lost time in his first game back from the farm team.
He also helped move the Yomiuri Giants one step closer to the Central League pennant.
Ota played three positions, drove in three runs and finished with three hits, Shuichi Murata homered, and D.J. Houlton earned his 10th win of the season in the Giants' 9-1 rout of the BayStars on Saturday at Tokyo Dome.
