The Samsung Lions ran a winning streak in Baek Jeong-hyeon’s perfect pitch.
Samsung won 6-4 in the first game of the season against Kiwoom held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 18th. Samsung continued its upward trend with 4 wins and 1 loss despite a line injury after 6 consecutive losses.
It was a game that starter Baek Jeong-hyun completely dominated.
In his third start of the season, Baek Jung-hyun reported his first win of the season with 3 hits, 4 walks, 6 strikeouts and 2 runs in 8 innings. He only had a maximum of 138km with a fastball, but he completely took away the tempo of Kiwoom hitters by mixing perfect location and slider changeup. He continued his perfect pitching by blocking with 80 pitches until the 7th inning and not getting a single batter on base. Beasts also helped Baek Jung-hyeon fight hard with Lee Seong-gyu and Song Jun-seok’s defense fee.
Leading batter Lee Hyeong-jong also struck out in the 8th inning. A situation where five outcounts were left until a record never before in KBO history.메이저사이트
The ball hit by Russell on the 5th went toward the pitcher. It grazed the glove Baek Jung-hyun held out and refracted into a 3-legged liver. Lee Jae-hyun, who was moving toward second base following the direction of the ball, was caught in reverse motion. He caught and sprayed, but was safe at first base. The moment an infield hit was recorded, both perfect and no-hit and no-run were broken. It was a hit that Lee Jae-hyun could have handled if Baek Jeong-hyun hadn’t held out his glove. Baek Jeong-hyeon finished 8 innings in 90 pitches by double-slaying Lee Ji-young, the follow-up hitter. The moment I felt even more regretful.
Could it be because of the collapse of the great record?
Baek Jeong-hyeon went down the mound after giving up the first run with consecutive long hits to leader Kim Dong-heon and Lim Byeong-wook in the ninth inning, leading 6-0.
The Samsung batting line scored 6 points early and lightened the shoulders of Baek Jung-hyun.
At the beginning of the 1st inning, Kang Min-ho scored a ground ball and a wild throw in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd bases, which made leader Ja-Wook Koo and Ji-Chan Kim walk consecutively.
In the 3rd inning, Kang Min-ho’s hit and Lee Jae-hyeon’s walk resulted in 1 run and 1st and 2nd bases. Following a timely double from Lee Seong-gyu, when Song Joon-seok hit a ground ball from 1st, 2nd and 3rd bases, Lee Jae-hyun stepped on the groove and scored the 4th run, bringing down Jang Jae-young. Kim Ho-jae’s right-handed hit and Koo Ja-wook’s sacrifice fly added two more points to make it 6-0.
Jang Jae-young, who made his second start, was knocked out early with 4 hits, 5 walks, 3 strikeouts and 6 runs in 2⅓ innings, his 2nd loss of the season.
In his second start, Kim Ho-jae increased the RBI with multiple hits, adding great strength to the lower batting line groaning amid a rope injury. Koo Ja-wook, who was recording multi-hits in 8 consecutive games, had an important RBI, but had to stop his record streak as he failed to record a hit.
Kiwoom pursued 3 points in the 9th inning with Kim Dong-hun, Lim Byeong-wook, and Lee Jeong-hoo’s long hits, and even pulled out Samsung finisher Oh Seung-hwan. After 5 consecutive losses, the 4-game winning streak came to an end. Oh Seung-hwan, who rushed to the mound with 2 outs and 2nd base in the 9th inning, allowed Hyung-jong Lee to hit at the right time and was chased by 2 points.
