Game Preview
The Monkeys barely have no chances to turn things around in the first half of the season after blowing away a huge lead in the standings, and now they are looking to start the second half of the campaign on a strong note. The same can be said about the Lions, who might end up the first half of the campaign on a strong note based on how well they've been seeing the ball of late. The pitching matchup will feature Josh Roenicke and Elih Villanueva. Interestingly, Roenicke and Villanueva already met when the Lions visited the Monkeys back on June 27 – both tossed six innings in that game, although Roenicke gave up five runs while Villanueva allowed 11. Villanueva has been one of the worst pitchers in the CPBL over the last few weeks, and this might be one of his last chances to turn things around before the second half of the season.
