Swallowing up the competition ...

Yakult on a roll

Jamie D’Antona slugged a pair of homers and drove in five runs, and Kyohei Muranaka (4-5) worked 6-plus innings to give the Yakult Swallows an 8-3 interleague win over Nippon Ham at Jingu Stadium on Monday.
The makeup game gave the Swallows their longest winning streak of the season at five.
D’Antona belted a three-run homer in a four-run first inning, and had a two-run blast to power the Swallows, who are playing better under interim manager Junji Ogawa since May 27.
Ogawa took over after skipper Shigeru Takada decided to leave the last-place Swallows.
