Tomohiro Nioka of the Yomiuri Giants had a big night Sunday at the Tokyo Dome, belting three home runs, including grand slams in consecutive at bats, and driving in 10 runs as his team routed the Chunichi Dragons, 15-4.
Nioka missed the Japanese record for RBIs in a game by one.
The Major League record for RBIs in a game is 12 by two Cardinal players: Jim Bottomley in 1924 and Mark Whiten in 1993.
The last MLB player with 10 RBI in a game was Alex Rodriguez last season in a game against the Angels.
