Cuevas

the march of ‘0’ by playing a ‘luxury pitcher battle’.

at the bottom of the fourth inning, and calmed the opponent’s lineup
with only one hit until the fifth inning with Alcantara.

by second baseman Lee Ho-yeon with a diving catch, increasing the outcount.
Doosan was also not easy.
In the early 6th inning, Doosan catcher Jang Seung-hyun,
who saw kt’s double steal strategy in a crisis with 2nd, 1st and 3rd base,
pretended to throw the ball to 2nd base, then caught 3rd base runner Kim Min-hyuk.
In the top of the 7th inning, Alcantara caught Kim Jun-tae’s batted ball
that flowed behind him from second out and first base
with amazing glove handling and handled it himself.
The game was split in the 8th inning when the two starting pitchers were replaced.
