Detroit Tigers infielder Lee Hao-yu delivered another multi-hit performance on Saturday, hitting a double and a solo home run to extend his hitting streak to 10 games in a 3-2 loss to the Kansas City Royals, the third in a four-game series.
Facing Royals starter Michael Wacha in the second inning, Lee drove in a run with a double to tie the game in Detroit at one apiece.
The 23-year-old, one of two Taiwanese position players on an MLB active roster, followed with a solo home run off Wacha in the fourth inning — his sixth of the season — to give the Tigers a 3-1 lead.
