(Central News Agency reporter Su Zhi-shuo, Taipei, 22nd) Continuing the hot streak from yesterday's first MLB career hit, Detroit Tigers' Taiwanese fielder Lee Hao-yu hit his first home hit today, along with his first walk and first time playing second base. However, the Tigers ultimately lost to the Milwaukee Brewers 4-12.
Lee Hao-yu started today as the number 8 batter and third baseman. In his first at-bat in the bottom of the 2nd inning, he struck out. In the bottom of the 4th, he hit a sharp line drive to left field with an exit velocity reaching 110.6 mph, loading the bases; however, the Tigers only managed to score 1 run in that inning via a double play.
Leading off the bottom of the 7th, Lee worked the count from 0-2 to full. When the fourth ball was pitched, the Brewers challenged the call, but the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) system confirmed it was a ball. Lee earned his walk, marking the first base-on-balls of his MLB career.
Lee struck out in the bottom of the 9th. Although the Tigers scored 3 runs in that inning, they couldn't fill the massive run deficit from earlier and ultimately lost the game. Lee went 1-for-3 in this game, with 2 strikeouts and 1 walk, bringing his batting average to .214. In the top of the 9th, he moved from third base to play second base, showcasing his infield versatility, though he didn't record any defensive putouts.
