(Central News Agency reporter Su Chih-yu, Taipei, 3rd) The Uni-President 7-ELEVEn Lions shut out the CTBC Brothers 2-0 on Sunday, led by a stellar 7.2 scoreless innings from Denyi Reyes. This marked the Brothers' 8th shutout loss of the season, tying them with the Lions for the most in the league. Reyes, who pitched a career-defining game, expressed his gratitude to catcher Chang Hsiang for his assistance on both offense and defense.
Reyes allowed hits in the first two innings but settled down, ultimately throwing 105 pitches over 7.2 innings, allowing 4 hits, no runs, and striking out 6. His pitch count and innings pitched were both season highs, earning him his 3rd win. Reyes said, "My mechanics were a bit off in the first few innings; my front shoulder was opening up early. My main strategy was to throw strikes and attack the hitters."
In his previous two starts, Reyes allowed 4 runs in 6 innings against the Rakuten Monkeys and 7 runs (5 earned) in 6 innings against the Fubon Guardians. However, he continued his dominance against the Brothers this season, holding them scoreless over a combined 13.2 innings.
Reyes stated, "There were some flaws in my strategy in the previous two games. Today was my first time working with catcher Chang Hsiang, but we thoroughly executed the game plan we discussed beforehand." Lions manager Lin Yueh-ping noted, "Reyes has been targeted and hit hard in his last two games, so we tried a new battery combination. It seems to have had a good effect. We used the catcher to adjust the pitcher's condition."
The Lions' offense scored first in the top of the 2nd inning. Pan Chieh-kai was hit by a pitch, stole second base, and then scored on a double by Chang Hsiang. In the 9th inning, Pan Chieh-kai drew a two-out walk, and Chen Sheng-ping followed with a double, allowing Pan to score from first base.
Lin Yueh-ping commented, "We managed to score 2 runs on only 4 hits today. Pan Chieh-kai's stolen base was crucial. It allowed Chang Hsiang's hit to drive in a run. You need aggressive baserunning." (Editor: Li Heng-shan) 1150603
