- The Wei Chuan Dragons defeated the Fubon Guardians 11-2, with Guo Tian-xin contributing three RBIs and two hits.
- Dragons' pitcher Tseng Jen-ho earned his third win of the season, despite some control issues when leading.
- Manager Yeh Chun-chang announced Tseng will be sent to the minor league for the All-Star break but is expected to return to the starting rotation in the second half.
The Wei Chuan Dragons snapped the Fubon Guardians' four-game winning streak with a decisive 11-2 victory, fueled by a season-high 16 hits at home. Leadoff hitter Guo Tian-xin was instrumental, driving in three runs and collecting two hits. His triple in the first inning ignited a three-run rally, and a crucial two-out single in the fourth extended the lead.
Fubon's starting pitcher, Suzuki Shunsuke, struggled, surrendering a season-high five runs in just five innings and taking his third loss. The Dragons' offense provided ample support for their pitcher, Tseng Jen-ho, who secured his third win of the season. This marked the first win for a Wei Chuan homegrown pitcher in a month.
Fubon's leadoff hitters are very threatening, so I'll be more focused during the game. Both teams have had the same number of wins and losses against each other, which means the games are very exciting. I hope we can regain the advantage.
Despite Tseng's win, Dragons manager Yeh Chun-chang indicated that the pitcher would be sent to the minor league during the upcoming All-Star break. "He started okay, but had too many bad pitches when leading," Yeh explained. "He'll likely go down (to the minors) for the All-Star break, but he'll have a higher chance of starting in the second half."
