Despite Yu Chang getting hurt in spring training, Teng Kai-wei did make it into the Giants’ roster becoming the first Taiwanese Giants players. Teng pitched his first game yesterday. The game was already blown out with a 0:10 home lead for the Padres by the 3rd inning when Daulton Jefferies got taken off the mound. Teng pitched 3 innings, giving up 3 runs in the first one, and then only allowed 1 single in the next 2 innings. He struck out 4 in total, walked 3.
He struck out Padres’ Korean slugger Kim Ha-Seong, who hit a grand slam in the 2nd inning. He also struck out Tatis.
