SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) -Ichiro Suzuki singled during a four-run sixth inning to help Japan’s World Baseball Classic team to a 6-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants in an exhibition game Wednesday.
With Japan trailing 4-2, Suzuki looped a single to right field to load the bases before Munenori Kawasaki doubled off Justin Miller to tie the game.
Norichika Aoki and pinch-hitter Kenji Johjima followed with RBI singles to give Japan a 6-4 lead.
Suzuki and Johjima are teammates with the Seattle Mariners but are playing this spring for Japan, which won the inaugural WBC in 2006.
