(Taipei, Central News Agency, April 26, Reporter Su Chih-yu) Houston Astros' Taiwanese pitcher Deng Kai-wei pitched in a tied game today, giving up 1 run and a home run in just 0.1 innings, ending his streak of 3 consecutive scoreless appearances. With the team losing 3-8 to the New York Yankees, Deng Kai-wei also suffered his first loss of the season.
Deng Kai-wei, who had rested for 3 days, took the mound in the top of the 7th inning with the score tied 2-2. On his second pitch, he gave up a solo home run to Austin Wells to right field. He then allowed a deep fly ball to left field, but his teammate made a good catch. After giving up a hit to Jose Caballero, he was pulled from the game.
Astros' relief pitcher Bennett Sousa also failed to stop the bleeding, issuing 4 walks and giving up 1 hit, allowing 2 more runs. However, Sousa did get the only out during his pitching, as Jose Caballero, who was left on base by Deng Kai-wei, was caught stealing. This left Deng Kai-wei with a line of 9 pitches, 0.1 innings, 1 earned run, 2 hits allowed including 1 home run, and his ERA rising to 2.16.
Although the Astros' Christian Walker hit a solo home run in the bottom of the 9th inning, the bullpen continued to give up runs in the 8th and 9th innings, ultimately losing by 5 runs. (Edited by Chang Ming-kun) 1150426
