The Tigers started the two-game sweep on Saturday with a 3-0 win over the Chicago Cubs after 20-year-old lefty Keito Mombetsu threw five perfect innings. No Cubs reached base until Miguel Amaya smacked a single through the infield in the sixth that just got past the shortstop.

Teruaki Sato hit a three-run home run off Blake Snell for the only runs of the game, giving the Hanshin Tigers a win over the Los Angeles Dodgers in an exhibition game on Sunday afternoon at the Tokyo Dome in Japan.
