(Central News Agency reporter Su Chih-yu, Taipei, 6th) Two Taiwanese players appeared in Japanese professional baseball today. Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles pitcher Song Chia-hao gave up 1 run in 0.1 innings, ending his personal 9-game scoreless streak. Saitama Seibu Lions' Lin An-ko struck out as a pinch hitter with bases loaded.
Song Chia-hao entered today's game against the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters in the 6th inning with the score tied 1-1. He came in with two outs and a runner on first. He first walked Kotaro Kiyomiya, then gave up a single to Franmil Reyes, allowing 1 run to score, which was charged to the previous pitcher Naisei Ryu. He then gave up a double to Yuki Nomura, allowing another run to score, which was his own earned run. He finally got Kota Yazawa to ground out to end the inning.
The Golden Eagles ultimately lost to the Fighters 2-12. Song Chia-hao gave up 2 hits and 1 run in 0.1 innings, and his ERA rose to 1.80.
In the game between Seibu and the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, after Seibu scored 2 runs in the 7th inning, with two outs and bases loaded, Lin An-ko came up as a pinch hitter. Facing right-handed pitcher Kota Suzuki, he battled for 8 pitches, but swung and missed on the 9th pitch after a 2-ball, 3-strike count, striking out. His batting average is .208. However, Seibu still won the game 10-2. (Edited by Li Shu-hua) 1150506
