Taiwanese player Teng demonstrates brilliance amidst the Giants' defeat
In the world of Major League Baseball, the Arizona Diamondbacks have moved 0.5 games ahead of the San Francisco Giants in the National League West, thanks in part to a standout performance by Taiwanese pitcher Teng Kai-wei.
Teng took to the mound against the Diamondbacks, marking a significant moment as he is the only Taiwanese pitcher currently active in MLB. His outing, while not without its challenges, was commendable. He struck out five, allowed two hits, and one walk over four innings, demonstrating a strong showing on the mound.
Unfortunately, a throwing error during a pickoff attempt allowed a run to score in the first inning, preventing Teng from securing a shutout. However, the lone run surrendered was the only one he allowed in his outing, with Casey Schmitt's solo shot in the third inning preventing Teng from losing the game.
Meanwhile, the New York Mets, holding the third National League wild-card berth, were idle on Monday. Elsewhere, the Los Angeles Dodgers suffered a 6-5 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.

The Diamondbacks' pitching ace, Zac Gallen, also had a strong outing, earning his 12th win of the season with a two-hit, six-inning start.
