Derek Jeter's first career grand slam might have stolen the show from teammate Wang Chien-ming (???) in the New York Yankees' 8-1 rout of the Chicago Cubs on Saturday, but it did not stop the Taiwanese rookie from getting his fourth big league victory, and more importantly, bouncing back from a loss against the St. Louis Cardinals last weekend.
In just 88 pitches, 57 of which went for strikes, Wang had his best game since being called up from triple A on April 30, holding the National League's top-hitting squad (with a .278 batting average as of June 18) to one run on five hits over eight spectacular innings.
He struck out five and walked one with a repertoire of pitches consisting of mostly sinkers and fastballs, along with an occasional slider or changeup.
