Japan Series MVP Shinnosuke Abe highlighted a seven-run seventh inning with a go-ahead three-run homer as the Yomiuri Giants beat the Kia Tigers 9-4 in the Japan-Korea Club Championship on Saturday.

Abe's shot to right off reliever Gwak Jeong Cheol put Yomiuri up 4-3 before Alex Ramirez's two-run single and RBI singles from Yoshiyuki Kamei and Takahito Kudo broke open the contest in the seventh.

Kia had a 3-0 lead through five innings. Na Ji Won delivered an RBI single in the first and a two-run single in the fifth in the one-game championship at Big N Stadium.

Michihiro Ogasawara got Yomiuri on the board with a two-out solo homer in the sixth off Yang Hyeon Jong, who threw 5-2/3 innings of one-run ball with six strikeouts.

In the seventh, Kamei had a leadoff single and pinch-hitter Kudo followed with a walk to set the stage for Abe.

Takahiko Nomaguchi won in relief. Wilfin Obispo got the save after allowing one run in three innings.
