Baseball: Lotte wins in 10 despite Sasaki’s scoreless streak ending

The Lotte Marines edged the Orix Buffaloes 4-3 in 10 innings after their young flamethrower Roki Sasaki gave up three runs in seven innings of work Friday.

Sasaki had his season-opening scoreless streak snapped at 20 innings when Orix catcher Tomoya Mori delivered an RBI double down the right-field line in the bottom of the first at Kyocera Dome Osaka.

The 21-year-old right-hander allowed two more runs to score as Orix built a 3-0 lead in the fourth.
