Tigers' "Taiwanese Power Man" Li Hao-yu made a significant impact as a pinch hitter in extra innings, helping his team secure a 6-2 victory over the New York Yankees and extending the Yankees' losing streak to seven games.

Li Hao-yu did not start the game but entered in the top of the ninth inning as a designated hitter. He struck out in his first at-bat against a slider. However, he remained in the game to play second base in the bottom of the ninth. The game was tied 2-2 after nine innings, forcing it into extra innings.

In the top of the 11th inning, Li Hao-yu stepped up to the plate again. Facing pitcher Camilo Doval, he battled through seven pitches before drawing a crucial walk. This base on balls loaded the bases for his teammates, who then drove in four runs, ultimately sealing the 6-2 win for the Tigers.

Although Li Hao-yu went 0-for-1 in the game, his precise eye at the plate and the resulting walk extended his consecutive on-base streak to 10 games. His batting average for the season now stands at .256.
