On September 1st in Denver, San Francisco Giants pitcher Kai-Wei Teng started against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. He pitched 5.1 innings, only allowed two runs, and recorded a career-high eight strike outs. The Giants went on to win 8 to 2 on the road, giving teng his second career MLB victory and his first as a starter. He also became the first Taiwanese pitcher since Wei-Yin Chen in 2018 to earn a win as a starter in the majors. This performance marks a milestone in Teng’s young career and highlights Taiwan’s growing impact on Major League Baseball.”
“U16 Asia Cup Basketball — Taiwan suffers first loss.
In Mongolia, Taiwan’s U16 men’s basketball team fell to New Zealand, 82 to 101, in group play. Taiwan kept it close in the first quarter, but New Zealand pulled away with a 37 to 21 run in the second period. Taiwan briefly cut the deficit to single digits in the third quarter, yet couldn’t sustain momentum. The biggest difference came on the boards — Taiwan grabbed only 30 rebounds, 32 fewer than New Zealand — and their outside shooting struggled at just 27 percent. With the loss, Taiwan moves to 1–1 in the group stage and will face Indonesia next.”
“Boxing — Lin Yu-Ting sidelined again by gender test dispute.
Taiwan’s Olympic gold medalist Lin Yu-Ting, who won the women’s 57-kilogram title in Paris, will miss the upcoming World Boxing Championships in Liverpool. Although Lin submitted the required gender verification report weeks ago, she has yet to receive official clearance from the new governing body, World Boxing. The federation introduced stricter rules this year, requiring PCR tests to detect the SRY gene on the Y chromosome for all athletes over 18. Taiwan’s boxing association says it provided full medical documentation and consulted experts, but with no response, the team decided not to risk sending her to the UK. This is not the first time Lin has faced such setbacks — she previously withdrew from events in Thailand, Kazakhstan, and the UK due to unclear regulations. For now, her eligibility remains unresolved.”
“Taiwan Baseball — Match-fixing figure faces justice again.
Nicknamed ‘Wiper,’ Tsai Cheng-yi was at the center of the 2009 Taiwan baseball league match-fixing scandal, a case that badly damaged Taiwan’s pro baseball. He served prison time, yet later returned to politics. Now, prosecutors say he’s involved in extortion and money-laundering, and they intercepted him at Taoyuan Airport on August 31. A detention hearing is set for September 2. While Tsai is presumed innocent until proven guilty, for many fans he remains a symbol of how deeply match-fixing hurt the sport.”

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
