[Reporter Lin Youchen/Taoyuan Report] CITIC Brothers welcomed Zheng Haojun back to the first team today and started to face Lotte Taoyuan. Zheng Haojun pitched 8 scoreless innings of high-quality starting pitching, allowing only 4 hits and 4 strikeouts, helping the team defeat Lotte Momozaru 6-0.

Jung Ho-kyun's status has been up and down this year. He once faced the Unified Lions on April 21st without allowing any hits in 7 innings, and also faced the Fubon Titans on May 13th in just 0.1 innings and allowed 9 runs. Before today, Jung Ho-kyun's last start was against Fubon on August 5 and he lost 9 points in 4.1 innings. After more than a month of adjustments, he regained his skills today.

Speaking of the ups and downs this year, and it seems that he has encountered both the best and the worst, Zheng Haojun said: "You will always encounter things in life, but you still have to face them with a positive attitude. The key is to find out the problems and correct them as soon as possible."

Jung Ho-kyun also said: "I tried my best to perform and contribute games. During the adjustment of the second army, many people helped, and I want to thank many people. We all discovered and solved problems together, and tried different changes. Today, we gradually regained the feeling. Thank you everyone."

Zheng Haojun also thanked his teammates for their support today, and his partner, catcher Gao Yujie, was the hero behind the scenes. He said frankly that Gao Yujie had to take care of the defense, and he had hits on offense today. In addition, his teammates had good firepower and also helped on defense. As for his own performance, Zheng Haojun said: "It's pretty good, but I still have to start from scratch in the next game and hope to maintain a stable pace."
