Reliever Wei-Chung Wang grateful for latest MLB opportunity with A's

OAKLAND — Earlier this week Wei-Chung Wang made A's history, becoming the first Taiwanese-born player in franchise history.

Wang pitched two scoreless innings Tuesday night against the Angels and one more Wednesday. It was his first time on a major league mound since 2017.

Wang, 27, began his big league career in 2014 with the Milwaukee Brewers. He spent four seasons in the Brewers organization before pitching in South Korea last year.

This past offseason, the A's signed Wang to a minor league deal, and called the left-hander up last week.

"I'm just really happy," Wang said through an interpreter.
