Central News Agency (Taipei, April 30, Reporter Su Chih-she) - In a Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) game today, the CTBC Brothers made a costly error in the top of the 4th inning, giving up runs. The Rakuten Monkeys, led by starting pitcher Tseng Chia-hui's strong performance of 5 innings and 1 earned run, secured a 3-1 victory. The Brothers are now on a 3-game winless streak with 2 losses and 1 tie.
Tseng Chia-hui secured a spot in the Monkeys' starting rotation this year. Although he gave up a run in the bottom of the 2nd inning due to a walk, a hit-by-pitch, and a hit all occurring in the same inning, he retired the side in order in the other four and a half innings. He pitched 5 innings, allowing only 1 hit and 1 run, with 4 strikeouts, earning his first win of the season and second career win with the support of his teammates.
In the top of the 4th inning, Monkeys' "Lightning Speed" Chen Chen-wei hit a single, followed by two consecutive stolen bases. Lin Chih-ping then hit a single to tie the score. Subsequently, Liu Tzu-chieh singled, and Ma Chieh-sen struck out. With two outs and runners on first and second, Li Hsun-chieh hit a ground ball to right field. Brothers' outfielder Lee Sheng-yu mishandled the ball, allowing Rakuten to score two runs and take the lead. In the top of the 5th inning, the Brothers replaced Lee Sheng-yu with Sung Sheng-jui in the outfield.
Brothers' ace pitcher Nivaldo Rodriguez delivered a quality start of 7 innings, allowing 3 runs (2 earned), but suffered his 4th loss of the season. With an ERA of 3.50, he has had 5 quality starts in 6 appearances this season, winning only 1 game. (Editor: Chang Ya-ching) 1150430.
