(CNA reporter Su Chih-yu, Taipei, 6th) Uni-President 7-ELEVEN Lions' injured player Lin Jing-kai returned to the lineup today, and catcher Chen Chung-yu delivered two hits, leading the team to a 4-1 victory over the TSG Hawks, extending their winning streak to four games. In another game, the Fubon Guardians won 7-1, handing the visiting Rakuten Monkeys their fourth consecutive loss.
Lin Jing-kai suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee in mid-June last year, undergoing surgery that ended his season prematurely. He only returned to the first-team lineup today, serving as the starting second baseman in the game against the Hawks in Chiayi City Baseball Stadium. He made six defensive plays without errors, rebuilding a crucial defensive line for the Lions.
The Lions' offense generated four runs on eight hits. Chen Chung-yu hit two singles and drew one walk, scoring two runs to be named the MVP of the game. Starting pitcher Denyi Reyes pitched five innings, striking out six and giving up one run, earning his first win since coming to Taiwan.
The Fubon Guardians sent Li Dong-ming to start at Hsinchuang Baseball Stadium. He gave up seven hits in 5.2 innings but only one run, ending his career-long streak of 16.1 scoreless innings but ultimately securing his third win of the season.
The Guardians' offense exploded in the bottom of the first inning, hitting seven singles off Rakuten Monkeys' starting pitcher Kyle Marman to score four runs. Marman eventually exited after four innings, giving up seven runs and taking the loss. (Edited by Lee Shu-hua) 1150506
