Game Preview
These teams actually managed to get a game in Friday, a rare occurrence given the rain that's wiped out most of the last two weeks' worth of games in Taiwan. The Monkeys took the series opener 3-1, extending their lead atop the standings to five games. They'll send veteran lefty Wang Yi-Cheng to the mound as they look to maintain that gap. Wang has managed a 4.00 ERA through his first five appearances this season, his lowest mark since 2014. The Lions will turn to American righty Josh Roenicke.
