Brothers' Young Pitcher Lu Meng-yang Delivers Quality Start After 404 Days

CTBC Brothers' 22-year-old prospect Lu Meng-yang delivered a quality start in a minor league game on Sunday, August 2, 2026, pitching six innings and striking out four batters. His performance lowered his ERA to 5.50.

Lu began the game strong against the Fubon Guardians, striking out three batters in the first inning. He navigated through the next few innings, allowing only one hit and no runs through the fourth. He then retired nine consecutive batters from the fourth to the sixth innings.

However, Lu's outing ended in the seventh inning when he gave up a three-run home run to Hsiao Yi-ming, which allowed the Guardians to take a 5-2 lead. Lu was charged with the loss despite his earlier efforts. He pitched six innings, allowing six hits and three runs (two earned) with four strikeouts and two walks. This was his first quality start in 404 days, with his last coming on June 24 of the previous year in a minor league game.
