South Korean closer Lim Chang-yong of the Yakult Swallows earned his second save of the season against the Chunichi Dragons in the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) at Kingu Stadium on Thursday.
The Swallows closer went to the mound in the ninth and threw one scoreless inning, allowing one hit with a strikeout to secure the team a 10-7 victory.
While Lim threw 16 pitches, his fastball was marked 156 kilometer per hour (kph).
The 32-year-old pitcher sent Masahiro Araki to the dugout by ground and struck out Hirokazu Ibata.
Though Lim allowed Masahiko Morino to hit a single, he finished the game with Tony Blanco's ground ball.
Lim, who has pitched in four games this season, has recorded an ERA of zero.
