Deng Kaiwei remains in the Giants' starting rotation and will face off directly against the Cardinals' ace tomorrow!

Deng Kaiwei is set to start once more on the 8th, matching up against the St. Louis Cardinals' ace pitcher Sonny Gray, striving for his third victory this season.

On September 2nd Beijing time, Deng Kaiwei was recalled by the San Francisco Giants to the major leagues and made his fifth appearance this season against the league's lowest-ranked Colorado Rockies. He pitched 5.1 innings, gave up 9 hits and 2 runs, while striking out a career-high 8 batters. The Giants ultimately defeated the Rockies 8-2, with Deng earning his first career win as a starter.

Thanks to his outstanding performance in the last game, Deng earned another starting opportunity. He will take the mound tomorrow at 2:15 AM Beijing time, facing right-hander Gray directly. Before the 7th, the Giants went on a five-game winning streak, keeping their playoff hopes alive this year. Currently, they are 4 games behind the third place National League wild card spot.

This season, Deng Kaiwei has appeared in 5 major league games, pitching a total of 18.2 innings, recording 20 strikeouts, issuing 9 walks and 3 hit batsmen, with an earned run average of 7.23 and a record of 2 wins and 3 losses.
