Atsunori Inaba added a solo home run in the eighth."It was nice that my solo shot turned out to be a crucial one for our win," Inaba said. "I wasn't sure if my fly ball would stay fair, but it did with a little help from the wind."Darvish was pitching for us, so we just couldn't lose. He was visibly frustrated on the mound at times, but he didn't make things worse. He's really mature now."Hisashi Takeda closed out the game to pick up his 22nd save.Lotte rookie Atsushi Kobayashi (0-2) was charged with three runs in seven innings.Eagles 4, Buffaloes 3At Osaka's Kyocera Dome, Ryo Hijirisawa hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the fifth inning to make a winner out of Masahiro Tanaka as Tohoku Rakuten beat Orix.Tanaka (9-2) allowed three runs on nine hits in six innings.
