[Reporter Lin Youchen/Reporting from Taipei] In the history of Taiwanese competitions, there have been two comebacks after losing 0 wins and 2 losses in the first two games. They were in 1997 when the Wei Quan Dragons defeated the Times Eagles and in 2016 when the E-Da Rhinos defeated CITIC Brothers. However, in the history of the Taiwanese competition, there has never been a scene where 0 wins and 3 losses followed by 4 consecutive wins reversed the situation. If CITIC Brothers loses again tomorrow, the series may face great challenges.

The league announced the starting pitchers of both sides earlier. The Steel Dragons have been in Taiwan for 6 years and have won and lost against CITIC Brothers in the regular season in their career. They have a total of 19 wins and 14 losses, and a ERA of 3.23. This season, the two sides played against each other. The Steel Dragons had 3 wins and 2 losses against CITIC Brothers, with a defensive rating of 1.91. The defensive rating was the second-best among all teams.

Rogo has been in Taiwan for three seasons, including his first year with the Fubon Titans. His career defensive rating against the Dragons is 1.64, the best among all teams. This season, Rogo has 3 wins and 0 losses against the Dragons, with a 1.16 defensive rating. The Dragons are the only team that Rogo has played against with an ERA lower than 2 this season and has never lost a shot.

It is worth mentioning that the only Dragons hitter who got a hit from Rogo this season was Liu Jihong. The main hitter of the Dragons, Zhang Zhengyu, has a career batting average of 486 against Rogo.
