Kang Baek-ho (kt Wiz), Edison Russell (Kiwoom Heroes), and Kim Jae-hwan (Doosan Bears) finally hit home runs. In the midst of this, Seong-gyu Lee (Samsung Lions), who has been in his 8th year, has already hit 4 homers and emerged as a surefire alternative to Samsung, whose center fielder position is in an emergency due to Kim Hyun-joon’s injury.

In an exhibition match against Kiwoom Heroes held at the Gocheok Sky Dome on the 24th, Samsung won 4-3 with a come-from-behind 3-run by Lee Seong-gyu, a rising star.

For Kiwoom, starter Choi Won-tae pitched well with 2 hits, 6 strikeouts and no runs in 4 innings, so Lee Seung-ho, who came out from the bullpen, gave up 4 runs in 1⅓ innings and suffered the yoke of defeat.

Kiwoom foreign player Edison Russell, who was still unable to show himself in batting compared to the stable defense with 3 hits in 20 at-bats (batting average of 0.143) until the previous day, rebounded with 3 hits in 3 at-bats, 1 home run and 3 RBIs that day, giving the team a glimmer of hope. Kiwoom is in 9th place with 3 wins, 6 losses and 1 draw after losing all 2 matches against Samsung.

The kt Wiz avenged the previous day’s loss by winning the LG Twins 6-1 with Kang Baek-ho, who was left disappointed by the lack of long hits even while wielding a flamethrower’s bat.

Kang Baek-ho hit a right-handed hit in the second inning and hit a 1-run homer that went over the right wall after hitting LG’s bullpen Kim Dae-hyeon’s 134km slider in the fifth inning, leading 3-1.

SSG Landers broke away from a three-game losing streak by winning 3-2 against KIA in Gwangju thanks to starter Moon Seung-won’s good pitching and Choo Shin-soo’s feat of scoring two points, including the final hit.

Starter Moon Seung-won’s good fight shone. Moon Seung-won, who also started against Lotte on the 16th and pitched well with 2 hits and no runs in 4 innings, played his part as a reliable starting pitcher with 4 hits, 4 strikeouts and 1 run in 5 innings that day. Leadoff Choo Shin-soo went 3 at bats, 1 hit, 1 walk, 1 RBI, 2 runs scored, and maintained a high batting average of 0.412 in the demonstration game, showing a different aspect from the late game. 안전놀이터

With 3 runs by foreign hitter Jack Rex and a come-from-behind hit by Korean-Japanese outfielder Ahn Kwon-soo, Lotte defeated NC 6-5 and tasted victory in a week, ending its 5-game losing streak. Most of all, it was an important victory that could change the mood for Lotte, which was depressed after promising pitcher Seo Jun-won was expelled for illegal activities.
