After watching the home run derby before the game, some Seibu Lions, past and present, put on a power show of their own.
Lions catcher Tomoya Mori hit a two-run home run, teammate Hotaka Yamakawa had a solo shot and former Lions star, and current Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles player, Hideto Asamura also went deep to lead the Pacific League to a 6-3 win against the Central League in Game 1 of the NPB All-Star Series on Friday night at Tokyo Dome.
Mori was named MVP of the game. He was also MVP of the opening game last season.
