Li Hao-Yu secures his first MLB hit, RBI, and run all in one game, exclaiming after the match that he finally accomplished it.

In his third MLB game after being promoted, Detroit Tigers infielder Li Hao-Yu faced the Boston Red Sox again. This game saw him achieve his first career hit, first RBI, first extra-base hit, and score his first run, delivering two hits. Li Hao-Yu stated after the game: "I'm very happy, it's finally done."

In the top of the fourth inning with two outs and runners on first and second, Li Hao-Yu seized the second pitch to drive a hit to center field, bringing home the runner from second to tie the game at 2-2. This marked his third MLB appearance and ninth at-bat, officially reaching the significant milestones of his first hit and first RBI.

In the top of the ninth inning with the Tigers trailing by five runs, Li Hao-Yu stepped up as the first batter. Again attacking the second pitch, he smashed a double that hit the left-field Green Monster, his first extra-base hit in MLB. The ball had an exit velocity of 107.6 mph, traveled 377 feet, and had a launch angle of 20 degrees.

After one out, Li Hao-Yu scored his first MLB run thanks to Kevin McGonigle's double. Subsequently, Gleyber Torres added a hit to bring in another run. With two outs, Riley Greene hit a double to right field to drive in two more runs, but the Tigers ultimately lost 6-8.

Li Hao-Yu went 2-for-4 in the game with one walk, one run scored, and one RBI.

Manager A.J. Hinch commented: "Li Hao-Yu was thrilled about getting his first hit. There's only one first time in a career, and he's been eager to achieve it these games. I'm glad he could do it here."
