Pan "Du Du" Wei-luen tied the league mark for consecutive victories by pitching the President Lions to an 18-4 triumph over the Sinon Bulls in Sinjhuang on Sunday evening for his 14th-straight win.
The Lions ace continued to perform despite suffering from a shoulder injury that has kept him to no more than six innings per start since mid-May.
"The offense has really helped me out with several seven-plus run games over the course of the season," Pan said after the game.
Pan's winning streak had seemed in danger a couple of times over the past month with the pitcher ending up with a pair of no-decisions.
The Bulls actually got off to a great start by scoring off "Du Du" on a solo home run by Cheng Jau-han in the first and Cheng Da-hong's run-scoring single in the top of the second, before the Lions evened things up at 2-2 in the bottom of the second on Kao Chih-kang's two-run blast off Bulls starter Hu Jung-jeh.
After Liu Fu-hao's bases-clearing, three-run double made it 5-2 in favor of the Lions in the third, they erupted for a dozen more runs in the fifth that saw 15 hitters making their way to the plate against three different Sinon hurlers.
Six Lions hitters had multi-hit games on the night, led by Liu's perfect 3-for-3 with three RBIs while Yang Seng drove in five runs to tie a career-high.
Whales 9, Elephants 2
The Chinatrust Whales swept the two-game series against the Brother Elephants over the weekend with a convincing 9-2 win in Tianmu on Sunday to extend their winning streak to four in a row.
Chu Wei-ming pitched six solid innings of two-run ball on seven hits and Hsu Ren-jeh knocked in four runs for the Whales to move back into title contention.
The emerging Whales right-hander has won all three of his starts since leaving his usual setup man's role in the bullpen, while Hsu set a season-high in RBIs with four on the night.
Chen Jia-hong's solo home run off Elephants starter Yeh Ding-ren put the Whales ahead 1-0 in the bottom of the second before they tacked on five more runs in the next two innings, highlighted by slugger Carlos Villalobos' two-run double in a three-run third.
It was the third-straight multi-RBI game for Villalobos.
Trailing 0-6, the Elephants got on the board in the sixth on a two-run homer by Chen Chih-hong off Chu. But the Whales returned the favor with three more in the bottom of the same inning to put the game away.
Jobe Bellingham on Tuesday admitted to having “anxieties” on following in brother Jude’s footsteps after joining Borussia Dortmund in the summer. Jobe Bellingham, 19, is two years younger than Jude Bellingham, who joined Real Madrid in 2023 after three years at Dortmund. A centerpiece of the England national team, Jude Bellingham has emerged as one of the best players in the world in recent seasons. The younger Jobe Bellingham joined Dortmund in June from Sunderland after their promotion to the English Premier League. He admitted he understood what the perception would be ahead of the move to Germany. “It’s something you do think about.
Before Tuesday’s 7-2 win at the Atlanta Braves, Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy suggested “most people couldn’t tell you five players on our team.” A look at the standings would indicate more Brewers players soon will be recognized by more fans. After all, it is difficult to overlook a team that not only continues to extend their lead in the National League Central, but also boasts the best record in the majors. “What we’re doing in here right now is special,” right-handed pitcher Freddy Peralta said after allowing only four hits and one run in five innings, while setting a career high with
A baseball team from New Taipei City won the US Pony Palomino Division World Series yesterday in Laredo, Texas, defeating the US West representative team from Azusa, California, 2-1. Ku-Pao Home Economics and Commercial High School earned the right to represent Taiwan in the Pony Palomino (17 to 18 age group) World Series after winning this year's Wang Chen-chih Cup, a competition named after Taiwanese-Japanese baseball legend Wang Chen-chih (王貞治), also known as Sadaharu Oh. In the championship game against Azusa, Ku-Pao's starting pitcher Luo Yu-yan (羅于晏) was erratic early, giving up two hits in the bottom of the first inning, followed
Taiwanese pitcher Teng Kai-wei took the mound in New York on Saturday as the starting pitcher for the San Francisco Giants in his MLB season debut against the New York Mets, pitching 3.1 innings and allowing five runs. The Taiwanese right-hander struggled early, giving up three runs in the bottom of the first inning, including a three-run homer to Mets slugger Pete Alonso — his 250th career home run. However, Teng was not fazed and soon found his footing, holding the Mets scoreless in the bottom of the second and third innings. Meanwhile, Mets starter Kodai Senga of Japan made a few errors
