Well, Wang was "just good enough" to get the win tonight against the Tigers. With the offense providing run support - staking Wang to a 5-0 lead, Wang pitched well enough to hold the Detroit offense to 3 runs over 6 2/3 innings. However, he also gave up 8 hits (1 HR and 5 doubles). Wang's sinker wasn't as effective as usual, although he was throwing pretty hard - 95 to 96 mph on his 4 seam fastball. All in all, a solid start for the kid as he now has his first career win in the post season. The Yankees won 8-4.Recap/Box
Fox TV has a nice little blurb on Wang and Kuo hailing from the same hometown of Tainan, Taiwan. It seems that a lot of the top baseball talent in Taiwan come from southern Taiwan.
Kuo will pitch Thursday night. Let's go Kuo!
yup, southrn taiwan is where all the talents are from. crazy baseball culture there.
ReplyDeleteI've never had a chance to check out the southern part of Taiwan in my 2 visits back there. I'll def. have to explore Tainan when the time is right.
