- Liu went 2-for-2 with a walk, reaching base every time up, and raised his batting average to .221.
- Fubon's new import pitcher, Harleigh, started and threw three scoreless innings with four strikeouts, at one point retiring seven batters in a row to show his dominance.
- The Brothers' Lu Meng-yang pitched four innings, giving up seven hits and six runs, taking his fifth loss of the season and pushing his ERA up to 5.98.
