The Wei Chuan Dragons suffered a demoralizing 2-10 defeat against the CTBC Brothers on Sunday, completing a three-game sweep at their home stadium in Kaohsiung. This marks the Dragons' third consecutive loss in the series, leaving them with a disappointing weekend.

Despite showing early promise by scoring first in each of the three games, the Dragons consistently faltered. In Sunday's matchup, starting pitcher Nick Cannan struggled, allowing six runs in five innings. The Brothers' offense proved relentless, with 18 hits in total, including multiple hits from Tseng Sung-En and Huang Wei-Sheng, and a crucial three-run home run by Yueh Cheng-Hua in the ninth inning.

With this loss, the Wei Chuan Dragons' winning percentage has dropped below .500. They now sit tied with the CTBC Brothers in fourth place in the standings, both holding an 11-12 record in the second half of the season. The series sweep highlights a concerning trend for the Dragons, who have struggled to close out games despite taking initial leads.
