Taiwanese baseball player Cheng Tsung-che has been called up to Major League Baseball (MLB) by the Boston Red Sox, making his starting debut against the New York Yankees. Cheng was assigned the ninth spot in the batting order and played shortstop for the game.

In his first plate appearance with the bases loaded in the second inning, Cheng hit a ground ball to second base. The fielder's choice allowed him to reach base safely while advancing the runner from third, securing his first career RBI. This play contributed to the Red Sox taking a 2-0 lead over the Yankees.

Cheng previously debuted in MLB with the Pittsburgh Pirates last year, accumulating seven at-bats without a hit. After being designated for assignment four times during the offseason, he was acquired by the Red Sox.

The Red Sox continued to extend their lead, scoring another run later in the second inning to go up 3-0 against the Yankees. This marks a significant milestone for Cheng in his professional baseball career.
