CPBL: Chang Yu-Cheng's two home runs lead Fubon Guardians to 5-4 win over Wei Chuan Dragons

The "Minister" Chang Yu-Cheng delivered a powerful performance, blasting two home runs in a single game to lead the Fubon Guardians to a crucial 5-4 victory over the Wei Chuan Dragons. This marks Chang's first multi-homer game since July 17th of last year, ending a 289-day drought and reigniting the Guardians' offense.

His timely hitting, coupled with Wang Nien-Hao's first home run of the season, provided the necessary cushion for the Guardians to break the Dragons' three-game winning streak. The team's ability to capitalize on these key moments, particularly with solo shots, proved decisive in securing the win and bringing their season win rate back to a respectable .500.

Yesterday the atmosphere was quite dull, today I wanted to help the team, play every ball well, and coincidentally, there were good results. As long as the team wins, I'm happy.

Chang expressed his determination to contribute to the team's success, stating, "Yesterday the atmosphere was quite dull, today I wanted to help the team, play every ball well, and coincidentally, there were good results. As long as the team wins, I'm happy." He acknowledged the difficulty of hitting against professional pitchers but emphasized the importance of hitting the ball hard and letting the home runs come naturally.

Addressing the recent slump in power hitting from both himself and teammate Fan Kuo-Chen, Chang stressed the importance of mutual support. "We are not competing against each other, but covering for each other, supporting the core lineup together," he said. This collaborative spirit is vital for the Guardians as they aim to consistently perform and achieve their goals throughout the season.
