KBO: Taiwan's Wang Yen-Cheng Pitches 5.2 Innings of 1-Run Ball, Hits 150km/h to Secure 6th Win

Hanwha Eagles' Taiwanese left-hander Wang Yen-Cheng led his team to a 9-2 victory over the SSG Landers on the 26th. Wang pitched 5.2 innings, allowing only one earned run while reaching a top speed of 150 km/h. This victory marks his first win in over a month, bringing his season record to 6-5 with a 3.59 ERA.

Despite a challenging stretch in his previous five starts, Wang demonstrated stability today. He allowed 6 hits, struck out 5 batters, and issued only 1 walk across 93 pitches. Although he encountered some pressure in the 5th inning following a defensive error, he managed to limit the damage. He was relieved by the bullpen with two outs in the 6th inning after conceding a double to Guillermo Heredia.

The Eagles' offense supported Wang with timely hits, including a two-run home run by Roh Si-hwan in the 6th and a five-run rally in the 8th inning fueled by Kim Tae-yeon’s two-run blast, securing the win.
