Newswire Named sources Outcome reported
  • Fubon Guardians pitcher Matis allowed four runs and seven hits over five innings against the Uni-Lions in his first start after the Aug. 31 foreign-player deadline.
  • The outing marked the highest single-game run total of his career, leaving him in line for his first loss if Fubon cannot provide enough offensive support.
  • Uni-Lions starter Lin Chao-en held Fubon to three hits without allowing a run through five innings.

Matis, described as the fastest left-handed pitcher in the league this season, endured the worst single-game outing of his career after securing his place beyond Taiwan’s Aug. 31 foreign-player deadline.

The Fubon Guardians starter lasted five innings and gave up four runs on seven hits. He also issued three walks or hit batsmen, throwing 92 pitches before leaving with the loss still pending. If his teammates cannot produce a comeback, he will absorb the first defeat of his career.

Matis had earned continued employment after a strong start on Aug. 26, when he threw six innings and allowed one run. His next outing turned sharply in the third inning. With one out and runners on first and second, Uni-Lions hitter Chen Yung-chi drove in a run, and Lin Tzu-hao followed with another timely hit.

The Lions added two more runs in the fourth. A hit by Lee Cheng-ling and two free passes loaded the bases before Chen Chieh-hsien delivered a two-run single. Uni-Lions left-hander Lin Chao-en, meanwhile, kept Fubon scoreless through five innings while allowing only three hits.
