(Central News Agency reporter Lin Hung-han, Los Angeles, 30th) Taiwanese player Li Hao-yu, a promising talent for the U.S. Major League Baseball's Tigers, started today and reached base twice via walks in five plate appearances. This was Li Hao-yu's 9th career Major League appearance and his first time drawing two walks in a single game.
The Detroit Tigers were on the road and defeated the home team Atlanta Braves 5-2 today, securing a win in the third game of the series after two consecutive losses, avoiding a sweep.
Li Hao-yu, a 23-year-old Taiwanese prospect, made his Major League debut on April 17. Tigers infielder Zach McKinstry was placed on the injured list at the time, giving Li Hao-yu the opportunity to be called up to the Major Leagues.
In this game, Li Hao-yu batted 8th and played third base. He had four opportunities with runners in scoring position in his five plate appearances. Although he didn't hit a single, he reached first base twice by drawing walks.
In his previous 8 games, Li Hao-yu had 8 strikeouts and only 1 walk. This game was his first with two walks in a single game. In his last 5 games, he only had 2 strikeouts, showing that he is reducing his strikeout rate and improving his plate discipline.
Li Hao-yu has played 9 games in the Major Leagues, with 5 hits in 24 at-bats, including 1 home run and 2 doubles, for a batting average of .208.
The Braves are currently the team with the best record in Major League Baseball. The Tigers relied on pitcher Framber Valdez's excellent performance, allowing only 2 runs in 6 innings, to suppress the Braves. In the 6th inning, Matt Vierling's single brought in the first run, and the Tigers scored 2 runs in the 8th and 9th innings, coming from behind to win. (Edited by Chen Cheng-kung) 1150501
