Teng Kai-wei Issues Walk, Then Strikes Out Two Consecutive Batters, Maintaining Tie

The Astros initially took a 7-2 lead with a powerful offensive performance through the first four innings. However, in the bottom of the fifth, starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. suddenly faltered, and the bullpen continued to struggle, allowing a two-run homer by Julio Rodriguez. The team surrendered five runs in that inning, and the game was tied. McCullers Jr. left the game with a record of 4.1 innings pitched and 6 earned runs.

In the bottom of the sixth, Teng Kai-wei took the mound. Although he issued a walk to the leadoff hitter, he subsequently struck out Luke Raley and Cole Young consecutively before exiting the game. The relief pitcher who followed also did not allow any runs. After the sixth inning, the score remained tied at 7-7. Teng Kai-wei threw a total of 20 pitches, with 12 strikes, recording 0.2 innings pitched and 2 strikeouts with no runs allowed. (Editor: Chang Ming-kun) 1150412
