Guardians win; CTBC clinch spotBy Jason Pan / Staff reporterThe Fubon Guardians grabbed all the runs they needed in the opening frame at the Taoyuan International Stadium last night, although they added more, leading all the way to beat the Rakuten Monkeys 6-2 as the race for post-season berths heats up with two weeks remaining in the CPBL’s regular season. Fubon Guardians starter Manny Banuelos winds up against the Rakuten Monkeys during their game at the Taoyuan International Stadium yesterday. He is now second for wins among pitchers in the league, only trailing Rakuten lefty Wang Yi-cheng, who has a 10-6 record, with a 5.42 ERA. “It’s great to ensure we will get into the finals this year, but we will not relax,” CTBC manager Chiu Chang-jung said. That cannot be surpassed by the Rakuten Monkeys in second, who have 58 wins and 56 losses (0.509) through 113 of 120 games.
