Chiba – Leonys Martin attended the introductory news conference for new Chiba Lotte Marines infielder Adeiny Hechavarria on Saturday morning and said he was happy his friend and fellow Cuban was joining the team.
Then he went out and celebrated against the Seibu Lions.
Martin homered in his first two at-bats and the Marines avoided a three-game losing streak with a 6-2 win over the Seibu Lions on a chilly Saturday afternoon at Zozo Marine Stadium.
Marines starter Manabu Mima did the heavy lifting on the mound, holding the Lions to two runs over seven innings.
“Mima pitched a solid game,” Marines manager Tadahito Iguchi said. “He really pitched well throughout. He was trying to do whatever he could to get a win.”
