Jose Ortiz spent the first part of this season playing in Mexico, where he said he wasn't really doing too well.
From where the Seibu Lions stand, Ortiz is playing just fine now.
Ortiz broke a scoreless tie with a two-run homer in the sixth inning, and Yusei Kikuchi was on top of his game for much of the night as the Lions earned a 3-2 victory over the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles on Tuesday night at Seibu Dome.
